Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation oncology is one of the most technologically dynamic fields in medicine, with innovations rapidly developed and adopted to improve cancer treatment outcomes while preserving patients’ quality of life. This Special Issue will highlight emerging state-of-the-art technologies that have the potential to transform clinical practice and deliver superior patient outcomes. We invite original research articles on clinical applications and innovations in areas such as AI-assisted radiotherapy, personalized radiopharmaceutical therapy, and online adaptive radiotherapy, where these innovations can advance radiotherapy more accurate, safer, and efficient (timely provision), ultimately leading to improved patient care.
