title: Advances in radiotherapy for tumors involving the mediastinum.
abstract: RT is an integral component of treatment in many tumors of the mediastinum. In recent years, there have been advances in RT planning and delivery, which have allowed more effective radiation delivery while sparing normal tissues. New technologies and radiation modalities may help achieve disease control more safely and effectively.
