Reports of Practical Oncology and Radiotherapy

Aims & Scope

Reports of Practical Oncology and Radiotherapy is a bimonthly interdisciplinary journal that publishes original contributions in clinical and radiation oncology as well as in radiotherapy physics, techniques, and equipment.

The journal welcomes original research papers, review articles, preliminary communications, technical notes, and novel case reports, as well as letters to the editor on recent RPOR articles or controversial issues in the field.[...] The journal serves researchers and practitioners in the fields of clinical oncology, radiation oncology and medical physics, providing an international platform to exchange practical, multidisciplinary clinical and scientific knowledge and achievements in oncology and related disciplines.

The journal recognises the increasing need for effective interdisciplinary collaboration in the fight against cancer.

Articles published in the journal in recent years cover diverse issues in oncology and medical physics, particularly radiotherapy treatment planning, clinical dosimetry, treatments based on non-ionizing radiation, and cancer diagnostics.
