Abstract

The role of RT in the management of melanoma is complex and spans the entire course of the disease. To provide optimal management of patients who have melanoma, radiation oncologists are an integral part of a multidisciplinary team. Appropriate integration of radiation into the management plan can improve locoregional control and alleviate symptoms from meta-static disease. The specific role of RT in locoregional disease is being refined. It is likely that current developments in radiation treatment technology will be applicable to melanoma. These should improve the therapeutic ratio by enhancing the tumoricidal effects of RT without increasing toxicity.

摘要

放射治疗（RT）在黑色素瘤管理中的作用复杂，贯穿疾病的整个病程。为了对黑色素瘤患者进行最佳管理，放射肿瘤学家是多学科团队的重要组成部分。将放射治疗合理纳入管理计划可改善局部区域控制，并缓解转移性疾病的症状。RT在局部区域疾病中的具体作用正在不断完善。放射治疗技术的当前发展很可能适用于黑色素瘤。这些发展应通过增强RT的杀肿瘤效果而不增加毒性来提高治疗比率。
