- Abstract: Radiotherapy is one of the main means of tumor treatment. With the progress of tumor radiotherapy technology and the rapid development of computer technology, radiophysics, radiobiology, imaging and functional imaging, revolutionary progress has been made in tumor radiotherapy. Precision radiotherapy requires accurate radiotherapy positioning, planning and design, and dose calculation. It involves 3D image processing technology, high-precision dose calculation algorithm and cutting-edge linear accelerator series technology. Recent years has witnessed remarkable progress of precision radiotherapy in the comprehensive treatment of tumors. This paper reviews the value of precision radiotherapy in the comprehensive treatment of tumors and predicts its application prospect.
