comment

It seems to me "inoperative tumours" must be a slip of the tongue / keyboard for "inoperable tumours", but don't feel qualified to make the change. Awien 23:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I am not an expert, but it looks to me as if this stub is about the same subject as TARGIT. As TARGIT is the newer article, I propose that its content be merged into this article. – ukexpat (talk) 20:58, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the author of the TARGIT page, and considered your suggestion. There are several ways to deliver radiotherapy intra-operatively; TARGIT is just one of these. It might be better if the other modalities had their own pages, all linking to this page. Norman21 (talk) 21:35, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

proposal to merge radiation therapy into this article

That's what it says in radiation therapy but they probably meant the other way around. I oppose both as merge will make it hard to maintain IORT content. - Rod57 (talk) 13:53, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible they meant to merge that section in RT into this article - that makes more sense as there seems too much detail on IORT in RT. - Rod57 (talk) 14:02, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
