Scope
This section welcomes a broad range of contributions to radiation oncology, from biologically-informed therapeutic regimens and integration of radiation oncology with chemotherapy, surgery and multi-modal approaches, to the development and testing of 3-D and 4-D radiation delivery systems impacting treatment responses and co-morbidities of treatment.
Scope
The field of radiation oncology is currently entering a new frontier of more personalized cancer treatment.
We are being led into this new frontier by the explosion of information in cancer biology. From the maturation of 3-dimensional (3-D) to 4- dimensional (4-D) photon and proton radiation planning and delivery, and the refinement of more sensitive tumor-imaging technologies for radiation therapy targeting, to an improved understanding of how best to integrate radiation therapy with conventional chemotherapy, newer biologics, as well as surgery, in a multi-modality approach.
This Section welcomes basic and clinical research relating to all aspects of radiation oncology. We are specifically interested in papers on the following topics:
- Identification and characterization of genetic and epigenetic alterations affecting biological signalling networks involved in radiation damage and repair processing in normal and malignant cells/tissues
- Development and testing of 3-D and 4- D radiation treatment delivery systems and/or novel tumor-imaging technologies that impact radiation delivery, treatment response, or morbidities of treatment
- Development and pre- clinical/clinical testing of novel radiation modifying drugs and small molecules
- Integration of systems biology approaches including the development of mathematical and computational models to better bridge the translation from basic to clinical radiation oncology research.
