Could depend on a number of factors, but unrelated in treatment, I had IORT, intraoperative radiation treatment, last August, and no one reported having it, out of all the members. Two made brief inquiries in 2005, and that's about it, although being effective in a number of study's, in use for years, and more popular Europe, Japan, especially for last chance recurrences for SCC. Sometimes there are other procedures that are more cost effective, popular, even if not better, not Medicare or Medicaid approved, not FDA approved for this disease.
