Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiotherapy is a powerful weapon against cancer, alone or in combination with surgery or medical treatments. Much progress has been made in recent years, and new technologies have been shown to significantly increase the benefit/harm ratio, resulting in greater local control and limited toxicities. Despite this, many questions regarding the appropriateness of modern radiotherapy, the clinical management of patients, and biological issues still remain unanswered. This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, entitled "Clinical Research in Radiation Oncology: Current Status and Future Directions", aims to provide an opportunity for radiation oncologists and the entire oncology community to discuss current issues in radiotherapy and present original data, literature reviews, and consensuses that reflect research and clinical interests in radiotherapy.
