Radiation Oncology

Dear Colleagues, 

The aim of this Collection of the journal Lymphatics is to enable rapid publications of scientific contributions and discoveries in the field of radiation oncology in reference to hematological malignancies.

Over the past five decades, the role and application of radiation therapy have dramatically changed, leading to 1) a reduction in the radiation fields and doses to mitigate the long-term toxicities seen when using outdated radiation; 2) the introduction of new indications for radiation treatment, 3) and most importantly, the employment of the radiation ability to produce immunogenic cell death, facilitating its introduction into the environment of immunotherapy and cellular therapy.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Radiation techniques
• Motion control management
• Applications of radiation fields and dose
• Mitigating radiation toxicity
• Radiation as consolidation post systemic therapy
• Combined modality with radiation and chemotherapy
• Combined radiation and immunotherapy
• Radiation as a conditioning prior to stem cell transplant
• Radiation as bridging in the cellular therapy environment
• Novel indications for radiation use
• Mechanisms of radiation induced immunogenicity
• Radiation in the palliative setting

We also welcome reviews on these subjects, particularly those that challenge existing concepts.
