title: [Radio-oncology--advances and integration of the last few years].
abstract: Progress in radiation oncology can be ascribed to better staging (diagnostic procedures such as CT and MRI), improved pathological classification, innovations in treatment planning (CT, computerized planning systems, patient fixation) and modern accelerators. These various contributions are demonstrated in detail taking radiation therapy of prostate cancer as an example. The importance of these (largely technological) advances is discussed, together with ways of balancing the technical and human aspects.
