| Core Tip |
Rectal cancer is one of the malignant tumors with a high fatality rate in the world. Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) allows for direct administration of high-dose radiation and the area that is at the greatest risk after resection. Although research reports on IORT for rectal cancer have been published, there is still a lack of reliable evidence regarding treatment efficacy and safety. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IORT in the treatment of rectal cancer. |
