title: Recent advances in radiation oncology.
abstract: The field of radiation oncology has experienced dramatic progress in recent years. Advances in areas of tumor delineation, treatment planning, delivery, and verification allow modern radiotherapy to deliver high doses with great accuracy, less patient morbidity, and in a highly individualized manner. A good understanding of what can be achieved with modern radiotherapy is important in ensuring an effective multidisciplinary approach to the management of cancer and other benign, yet rapidly proliferating, lesions.
