Scope
The section is aptly named, as 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; the maturation of 3-dimensional (3-D) to 4- dimensional (4-D) photon and proton radiation planning and delivery; the refinement of more sensitive tumor-imaging technologies for radiation therapy targeting; and a better understanding of how best to integrate radiation therapy with conventional chemotherapy, newer biologics, as well as surgery, in a multi-modality approach. As such, we aim to publish notable basic and clinical research relating to all aspects of radiation oncology. Specifically, we welcome papers on the following topics: 1) identification and characterization of genetic and epigenetic alterations affecting biological signaling networks involved in radiation damage and repair processing in normal and malignant cells/tissues; 2) 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; 3) development and pre- clinical/clinical testing of novel radiation modifying drugs and small molecules; and 4) 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.Indexed in: PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Science Citation Index Expanded, CLOCKSS

Radiation Oncology welcomes submissions of the following article types: Book Review, Case Report, Clinical Trial, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge, Systematic Review and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Radiation Oncology, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Radiation Oncology will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Oncology.
