Radiation physics and radiobiology are the two pillars on which the success of radiation therapy stands. While radiation physics deals with differential delivery of dose to the tumor as opposed to normal tissues, radiobiology helps us to understand how a tumor is different from normal tissues in terms of cellular biology, response to radiation, repair of the damage, and so on. In this chapter, we will understand various concepts of radiobiology with their clinical application. The reader is suggested to use the online links for further in-depth understanding.

摘要

Radiation physics and radiobiology are the two pillars on which the success of radiation therapy stands. While radiation physics deals with differential delivery of dose to the tumor as opposed to normal tissues, radiobiology helps us to understand how a tumor is different from normal tissues in terms of cellular biology, response to radiation, repair of the damage, and so on. In this chapter, we will understand various concepts of radiobiology with their clinical application. The reader is suggested to use the online links for further in-depth understanding.
