Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation research is a rapidly evolving and highly innovative field that integrates expertise across clinical radiation oncology, radiation, experimental and computational biology, medical physics, translational research, and artificial intelligence. As personalization and precision through stereotactic or adaptive treatment approaches, volume reduction, or molecular markers become key drivers of modern oncology, the integration of multidisciplinary knowledge creates new opportunities to improve treatment efficacy while minimizing toxicity.
Advancing this dynamic research landscape requires the development of novel technical, biological, and clinical strategies that move beyond standardized treatment paradigms toward biologically informed and patient-specific approaches. Such efforts are not only essential to improve clinical outcomes but also to enhance our understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying radiation responses.
This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative contributions to personalized and precision- based radiation oncology, including original basic and translational research, technological developments, novel model systems, and clinical investigations across various tumor entities. We also welcome comprehensive review articles addressing emerging concepts and future directions in radiation research.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Clinical radiation oncology.
- Translational research.
- Radiation biology and (bio)physics.
- Artificial intelligence and computational modelling.
- Experimental systems and technological innovation.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Thomas Weissmann

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
