On August 10, 2026, The First Affiliated Hospital of University of South China used HC-IORT to successfully complete the world’s first laparoscopic IORT procedure for rectal cancer. Three treatment fields were delivered: two laparoscopic fields and one spherical field.
Laparoscopic treatment field 1 — prescribed dose: 12 Gy; energy: 6 MeV; field diameter: 30 mm; field angle: 30°; beam-on time: 3.93 minutes.
Laparoscopic treatment field 2 — prescribed dose: 12 Gy; energy: 6 MeV; field diameter: 30 mm; field angle: 45°; beam-on time: 4.28 minutes.
Spherical treatment field — prescribed dose: 12 Gy; energy: 9 MeV; field diameter: 40 mm; beam-on time: 4.51 minutes.
