Abstract
In recent years, the role of radiation oncology in treating various pediatric cancers has been extensively researched and developed. The dosage of radiotherapy, when combined with chemotherapy, was either reduced in some oncological diseases or modified in other cancers. Despite these changes, due to swift advancements in radiation oncology technology, this combination therapy continues to enhance both overall and progression-free survival rates, maintaining its vital status as a therapeutic approach in precision medicine.
