Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Even with the refinement of surgical techniques, and the introduction of new systemic agents and treatment concepts, radiotherapy remains an indispensable part of the therapeutic armamentarium in head and neck cancer. Thus, the purpose of this Special Issue is to present the novelties and new directions in the field of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer that are already in use or will potentially play an important role in the future. We welcome original research articles or comprehensive review articles that focus on the possibilities of modulation of radiotherapy intensity or its toxicity, new therapeutic combinations, modifications of the tumor microenvironment, technological innovations, and the potential role of artificial intelligence in radiotherapy to achieve better therapeutic results. Hopefully, such a collection of studies will contribute to a clearer picture of what our expectations should be from radiotherapy in head and neck cancer now and in the future.
