Technology-Driven Improvement in Cancer Treatment: Adopted Radiotherapy

In various fields of oncology and radiation therapy, scientists continue to explore and develop innovative treatments that are less toxic and more effective to improve local tumor control rates, patient survival, and quality of life. In the development process of radiation therapy, continuous improvement is observed in different methods of radiation therapy, and in particular, adopted radiotherapy (ART) can be considered a developing phenomenon in this regard. In this review article, by describing the ART method, its classification in time domain is first discussed, and then different ART methods, the capabilities and scope of these methods and the way to overcome their limitations and defects are discussed.
