放射腫瘤學包括影響使用放射治療癌癥的研究的所有方面。它發表了分子和細胞輻射生物學、輻射物理學、輻射技術和臨床腫瘤學的研究結果。放射腫瘤學領域涵蓋了放射治療與多種治療方法的結合。放射腫瘤學為參與癌癥患者管理和治療的研究人員和臨床醫師提供了一個開放的訪問論壇，匯集了該領域的最新研究和進展。治療技術的進步以及對潛在生物抵抗機制的理解將進一步加強放射腫瘤學的作用。

Radiation Oncology encompasses all aspects of research that impacts on the treatment of cancer using radiation. It publishes findings in molecular and cellular radiation biology, radiation physics, radiation technology, and clinical oncology.The field of radiation oncology covers the integration of radiation therapy into multimodal treatment approaches. Radiation Oncology provides an open access forum for researchers and clinicians involved in the management and treatment of cancer patients, bringing together the latest research and advances in the field. Advances in treatment technology, as well as improved understanding of the underlying biological resistance mechanisms, will further strengthen the role of radiation oncology.
