Radiation oncology is a unique clinical specialty that was born on the crossroad
of several scientific fields. In the past several years the growth of this field has rapidly
accelerated, making the mastery of all new clinical information without daily practice
and dedicated learning simply impossible. For this reason, the presence and active participation of a radiation oncologist in the multidisciplinary team that determines
and recommends to cancer patients treatment strategies is obligatory. This will be a constantly recurring leitmotif
in this article, which will be dedicated to various aspects of radiation therapy that any practicing oncologist should be
familiar with.
