Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation therapy (RT) has made remarkable progress through multidisciplinary research and cutting-edge technological innovations in science, yielding improved outcomes and enhanced patient experiences. Various powerful imaging techniques that enable adaptive radiation therapy (ART) are being leveraged to meet each patient's unique needs. This leads to timely and accurate detection of anatomical changes and real-time assessment of tumor responses. Furthermore, advanced treatment planning strategies have been developed to optimize the robustness of RT, taking into account each patient's treatment history, variations in alignment, anatomical changes, and organ motion.
This Special Issue will showcase clinical findings that demonstrate the impact of anatomical changes and dosimetric benefits achieved through advanced imaging in ART. It also covers the latest technological advancements in imaging and the clinical implementation of effective ART strategies to enhance patient alignment accuracy, optimize target localization, and facilitate online or offline assessment of anatomical changes. Furthermore, this Special Issue highlights disease-specific ART protocols grounded in evidence-based research, along with practical RT planning strategies that lead to improved treatment outcomes and better patient care.
We welcome scholars to submit reviews and original research articles related to radiological interventional oncology (RIO) and precision medicine.

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 short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
