Radiation therapy is an effective, personalized cancer treatment that has benefited from technological advances associated with the growing ability to identify and target tumors with accuracy and precision. Given that these advances have played a central role in the success of radiation therapy as a major component of comprehensive cancer care, the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) sponsored a workshop entitled "Technology for Innovation in Radiation Oncology," which took place at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, on June 13 and 14, 2013. The purpose of this workshop was to discuss emerging technology for the field and to recognize areas for greater research investment. Expert clinicians and scientists discussed innovative technology in radiation oncology, in particular as to how these technologies are being developed and translated to clinical practice in the face of current and future challenges and opportunities. Technologies encompassed topics in functional imaging, treatment devices, nanotechnology, and information technology. The technical, quality, and safety performance of these technologies were also considered. A major theme of the workshop was the growing importance of innovation in the domain of process automation and oncology informatics. The technologically advanced nature of radiation therapy treatments predisposes radiation oncology research teams to take on informatics research initiatives. In addition, the discussion on technology development was balanced with a parallel conversation regarding the need for evidence of efficacy and effectiveness. The linkage between the need for evidence and the efforts in informatics research was clearly identified as synergistic.
放射治疗是一种有效的个性化癌症治疗方法，受益于技术进步，这些进步与精确识别和靶向肿瘤的能力不断提高相关。鉴于这些进步在放射治疗作为综合癌症护理的主要组成部分取得成功中发挥了核心作用，美国放射肿瘤学会（ASTRO）、美国医学物理学家协会（AAPM）和美国国立癌症研究所（NCI）主办了一次题为“放射肿瘤学创新技术”的研讨会，该研讨会于2013年6月13日和14日在马里兰州贝塞斯达的国立卫生研究院（NIH）举行。本次研讨会的目的是讨论该领域的新兴技术，并确定需要加大研究投资的领域。专家临床医生和科学家讨论了放射肿瘤学中的创新技术，特别是这些技术在面对当前和未来的挑战与机遇时是如何被开发并转化为临床实践的。技术涵盖了功能成像、治疗设备、纳米技术和信息技术等主题。这些技术的技术、质量和安全性能也得到了考虑。研讨会的一个主要主题是过程自动化和肿瘤学信息学领域创新的重要性日益增加。放射治疗的技术先进性使放射肿瘤学研究团队倾向于开展信息学研究项目。此外，关于技术开发的讨论与关于疗效和有效性证据需求的平行讨论保持平衡。证据需求与信息学研究努力之间的联系被明确认定为具有协同作用。
