ABSTRACT
Radiotherapy plays a critical role in the management of non-metastatic lung cancer, offering curative potential and symptom relief. It serves as a primary treatment modality or adjuvant therapy post-surgery, enhancing local control and survival rates. Modern techniques like Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) enable precise tumor targeting, minimizing damage to healthy tissue and reducing treatment duration. The synergy between radiotherapy and systemic treatments, including immunotherapy, holds promise in improving outcomes. Immunotherapy augments the immune response against cancer cells, potentially enhancing radiotherapy's efficacy. Furthermore, radiotherapy's ability to modulate the tumor microenvironment complements the immunotherapy's mechanism of action. As a result, the combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy may offer superior tumor control and survival benefits. Moreover, the integration of radiotherapy with surgery and chemotherapy in multidisciplinary approaches maximizes treatment efficacy while minimizing toxicity. Herein we present an overview on modern radiotherapy and potential developments in the close future.
