Conservative breast cancer surgery followed by radiation therapy is the standard treatment for this type of cancer. Numerous studies demonstrate that 90% of local recurrences after traditional surgery occur in the same quadrant as the primary cancer. The published data suggest that the wound healing process after surgery alters the area surrounding the original tumor and the modified microenvironment is more favorable for the tumor to recur. The majority of metastases within scar initiated much research, and the consequences of these studies led to clinical trials aimed at assessing whether localized radiotherapy, such as intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), would be more effective in inhibiting formation of local recurrence than the standard postoperative whole breast radiotherapy. IORT involves irradiation of diseased tissue directly during surgery. The rationale for this approach is the fact that the increase in the radiation dose increases local tumor control, which is the primary goal of radiation therapy. The biological basis of this process are still not thoroughly understood. Gaining new knowledge about the recurrence formation at the molecular level could serve as a starting point for further analysis and to create an opportunity to identify new targets of therapy, and possibly new therapeutic agents.
