Radiotherapy plays an integral role in cancer treatment. Approximately 60% of
cancer patients will receive radiotherapy at some point in their treatment. A
major improvement in patient outcomes occurs with the use of combined
chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The combination of targeted biological agents
with radiotherapy is the latest cutting-edge extension in cancer therapy for
radiation oncologists. "Combining Targeted Biological Agents with Radiotherapy:
Current Status and Future Directions" is an overview of the current state of
clinical and pre-clinical research in combining radiotherapy with targeted
biological agents to fight cancer. The text provides a general overview of
targeted agents, reviews the current clinical trials, and includes a look at
