Three‐Discipline Collaborative Radiation Therapy (3DCRT) debate: Medical physics should focus less on geometric precision and more on biological outcomes
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: 3DCRT) DEBATE SERIESRadiation oncology is a highly multidisciplinary medical specialty, drawing significantly from three scientific disciplines-medicine, physics, and biology.As a result, discussion of controversies or changes in practice within radiation oncology involves input from all three disciplines.This journal has adopted this "team-science" approach to debate articles in the "parallel-opposed" editorials.This article is part of the long-running debate series entitled "three-discipline collaborative radiation therapy (3DCRT)".In the "3DCRT" debate, each debate team has included three multidisciplinary team members, with the hope that this format would both engage the readership and foster further collaboration in the science and clinical practice of radiation oncology.
