Abstract:
Radiotherapy is a cornerstone of modern cancer management. In recent years, significant technological, biological, and digital advances have transformed how radiation doses are planned, delivered, and adapted. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in imaging, treatment planning, delivery techniques, radiobiology, and emerging innovations. Emphasis is placed on their clinical impact, current difficulties, and futures perspectives. Radiotherapy is increasingly moving toward a model of precision medicine, integrating artificial intelligence, adaptive workflows, and biologically guided strategies to improve outcomes and minimize toxicity.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
