Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation therapy remains a cornerstone in cancer treatment, continuously evolving through technological advancements and innovative therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue in explores the latest progress in radiation oncology, addressing key developments in radiotherapy techniques, radiobiology, and multimodal cancer treatment.
Recent innovations in proton therapy and heavy ion radiation oncology have improved treatment precision, reducing toxicity and enhancing patient outcomes. The integration of predictive and prognostic biomarkers enables personalized radiotherapy, optimizing efficacy and minimizing adverse effects. Advances in radiobiology contribute to a better understanding of tumor response and resistance mechanisms, guiding novel therapeutic strategies. Within multimodal therapeutic strategies, radiotherapy is combined with immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy to enhance anti-tumor efficacy.
In this Special Issue we welcome original research papers and reviews on emerging radiation therapy techniques, biomarker-driven radiation strategies, clinical applications of particle therapy, and novel combination therapies. We welcome papers reporting clinical trials of various dimensions; validating new radiation approaches and exploring their synergy with systemic treatments is also highlighted. Translational research papers on radiobiology and biomarker-based radiation or multimodal therapy indications are also welcome.
