Popis:	Treatment of cancer requires multidisciplinary team approach. Radiotherapy (RT) is an integral part of the comprehensive cancer care and is required in around 60–70% patients diagnosed with cancer at some point of the time in the course of disease. Sir Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered X-rays in 1895 and since then it is being therapeutically used to treat cancer. This chapter aims to give insight in basic principles of Radiation Oncology for the surgeons.
