Radiation oncology initiatives have been an integral component in the evolution of multidisciplinary research in the Cancer and Leukemia Group B. Although early studies in the Group primarily focused on chemotherapy for hematologic and pediatric malignancies, the Radiation Oncology Committee was established in 1972, reflecting the broadening scope of clinical investigation with an increased emp...

Advances in radiation oncology have been made on three major fronts: biology, physics, and clinical application. Our biological understanding of how radiation kills cells and how malignant cells avoid damage has identified new targets for therapeutic manipulation. Research in physics has yielded sophisticated methods to direct the deposition of radiation energy in ways that enhance target cover...

A modern approach to quality was developed in the United States at Bell Telephone Laboratories during the first part of the 20th century. Over the years, those quality techniques have been adopted and extended by almost every industry. Medicine in general and radiation oncology in particular have been slow to adopt modern quality techniques. This work contains a brief description of the history...
