<unk> , also known as<unk>  IORT is a technique of giving<unk>  to the tissues surrounding a cancer after its surgical removal, a form of intraoperative radiation therapy. The technique was designed in 1998 at the University College London. In patients having lumpectomy for breast cancer, the TARGIT-A(lone) randomized controlled trial (recruitment from 2000–2012) tested whether TARGIT within a risk-adapted approach is non-inferior to conventional course of external beam postoperative<unk>  given over several weeks. One IORT technique is known as TARGIT <unk> . TARGIT is a method where the radiation is applied during an operation and<unk>  to the peri-tumoural tissues. TARGIT technique was designed at University College London by Jayant S. Vaidya (who coined the TARGIT acronym) and Michael Baum along with Jeffrey S Tobias in 1998. The term was first used when the technique was described, and the protocol for a randomised trial was published by The Lancet.
