摘要: Background and Objectives The low availability poor access to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in developing countries makes it hard for women with breast cancer receive conservation. We studied the effect of providing intraoperative (IORT) on travel time, distance, costs Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). Methods Sixty-nine patients treated between January 2013 September 2014 were analyzed. Travel distance transit time was calculated using Google Maps. The living MCMA IORT would have spent if they had received EBRT calculated. Cost analysis each modality performed. Results 71% (n = 49) lived MCMA. Sixteen (33%) additional 33 (66%) only. Mean driving those 132.6 km (SD 25.7) 66 min 32.9). Patients from receiving alone avoided 990 visits, 43 700 km 65 400 min transit. led a 12% reduction per patient. Conclusions By reducing needed radiotherapy, could potentially enhance conservation resource-limited countries.
