Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemoradiotherapy is the combination of both chemotherapy and radiotherapy as an anticancer strategy. The goal of chemoradiotherapy is to achieve a synergistic anticancer effect from the combination of both treatment modalities. Chemoradiotherapy has become an established treatment for a diverse range of locally advanced solid tumors. It offers notable survival benefits and local disease control without significant long-term toxicity. However, the efficiency and outcome of the treatment require the optimization/fractionation of the radiation/chemotherapy dose and administration timing. This Special Issue calls for the clarification and better understanding of the chemoradiotherapy concept and its application in clinical settings.
