title: Issues in gynecologic radiation oncology.
abstract: Radiation therapy has a number of established roles in the curative, adjuvant, and palliative management of gynecologic malignancies. Specific indications for use of radiation therapy, concepts of integration of radiation therapy with other modalities, and techniques of radiation therapy, however, continue to evolve. Rather than discuss the use of radiation therapy in specific diseases, this paper reviews recent studies dealing with current issues in gynecologic radiation oncology.
