Cancer patients have just one dose of radiation, during the operation, instead of the normal 20 or 30 visits to hospital over five to seven weeks.

A revolutionary technique for delivering radiotherapy to breast cancer patients is being trialled by surgeons in Britain.

It's called intraoperative radiotherapy. Patients are given radiation treatment during surgery rather than coming in for weeks of post-operative treatment.
