Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the role of radiation oncology in the management of soft tissue and bone sarcomas. We aim to highlight the pivotal contributions of radiation therapy in both curative and palliative settings for these rare and challenging malignancies, particularly in light of groundbreaking recent advances. This issue will compile clinical experiences, insights into tumor biology, cutting-edge research, and innovative treatment strategies designed to improve patient outcomes. Key topics include the role of radiation therapy within a multidisciplinary treatment framework, technical advancements, optimal dose and fractionation schemes, treatment timing and delivery strategies, the management of outcomes and toxicity, and future research directions. We welcome submissions that align with these topics and contribute to a deeper understanding of the current and future landscape of radiation therapy for sarcoma.
