Received Date: Nov 02, 2024 / Published Date: Nov 30, 2024
Abstract
Neoadjuvant radiation therapy (NRT) has become an essential component in the multidisciplinary management of various cancers, particularly in locally advanced tumors. By administering radiation therapy before surgery, NRT aims to shrink tumors, reduce the risk of local recurrence, and improve surgical outcomes. This article reviews the effects of NRT on surgical outcomes, including tumor resectability, margin status, and postoperative complications. It also discusses the potential benefits and risks, highlighting the ongoing challenges in optimizing radiation doses, timing, and patient selection.
