The cooperation between radiation oncologists and physicists is essential to guarantee the quality and safety of the irradiation of our patients. It would be wrong to consider that the intervention of physicists in the patient management process is limited to the provision of calibrated and controlled equipment and to guarantee the validity of the dose distribution and the treatment time, while the radiation oncologist has the complete control of all clinical activities related to irradiation. The intervention of physicists at the stage of acquisition of anatomical data and throughout the phase of optimization of the treatment is already a reality. The recognition of the profession of medical physicist as a health profession comes to legitimize this intervention. Should physician-physicist cooperation be limited to these common tasks and participation in continuing care? Can we consider a true synergy of action that goes beyond the field of care? The answer to the question: "what does the radiation oncologist expect from the physicist and inversely?" may bring elements to reinforce tomorrow's cooperation.
放射肿瘤学家与物理学家之间的合作对于确保我们患者放疗的质量和安全至关重要。认为物理学家在患者管理过程中的干预仅限于提供经过校准和控制的设备以及保证剂量分布和治疗时间的有效性，而放射肿瘤学家完全掌控与放疗相关的所有临床活动，这种想法是错误的。物理学家在获取解剖数据阶段以及整个治疗优化阶段的干预已然成为现实。将医学物理师职业认定为健康职业，使得这种干预具有了合法性。医生与物理师的合作是否应仅限于这些共同任务以及参与持续护理呢？我们能否考虑一种超越护理领域的真正行动协同效应呢？“放射肿瘤学家期望从物理学家那里得到什么，反之亦然？”这个问题的答案可能会为加强未来的合作提供依据。
