Survival and quality of life in patients with malignant diseases are essentially influenced by modern therapeutic approaches (radiation therapy, surgery and chemotherapy). Improvements in the knowledge of radiation biology, tumour behaviour and in technical equipment have made indications and methods of irradiation more precise and safer during the last decade. The discerning patient is nowadays involved in a more sophisticated consideration of the risk-benefit relation and in the finding of a therapeutic decision.
恶性疾病患者的生存和生活质量在很大程度上受到现代治疗方法（放射治疗、手术和化疗）的影响。在过去十年中，放射生物学、肿瘤行为知识以及技术设备的进步使得放射治疗的适应症和方法更加精确和安全。如今，有见识的患者会更深入地考虑风险效益关系，并参与治疗决策的制定。
