iCAD Inc. announced the results of a landmark study that showed the benefits of adjunct intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) compared to external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in the treatment of early-stage breast cancer. The analysis demonstrated that IORT could result in direct cost savings for the U.S. healthcare system of more than $630 million over the lifetime of patients diagnosed annually with early-stage breast cancer, as well as significantly benefit patient health by minimizing radiation exposure and offering a better quality of life. The results of the study, which were originally published in the peer-reviewed Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation, determined IORT to be the preferred method of treatment.
