The frequent identification of tumour cells in the blood shed during tumour surgery in high numbers, showing vitality, invasiveness and tumourigenicity, confirmed the contraindication of any direct retransfusion of that blood. The cell saver itself, or leucocyte depletion filters are not able to eliminate these cells completely. Instead, blood irradiation with 50Gy provides a sufficient, high efficiency of tumour cell elimination which was confirmed experimentally. Blood irradiation for intraoperative blood salvage in cancer surgery representing the combination of two established procedures also is safe, and has proven its practicability in clinical practice. It makes available a powerful method for reducing homologous blood transfusions in cancer patients.
