Recent years have seen both a fresh knowledge of cancer and impressive advancements in its treatment. However, the clinical treatment paradigm of cancer is still difficult to implement in the twenty-first century due to the rise in its prevalence. Radiotherapy (RT) is a crucial component of cancer treatment that is helpful for almost all cancer types. The accuracy of RT dosage delivery is increasing as a result of the quick development of computer and imaging technology. The use of image-guided radiation (IGRT) has improved cancer outcomes and decreased toxicity. Online adaptive radiotherapy will be made possible by magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) using a magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MR-Linac), which will enhance the visibility of malignancies. This review's objectives are to examine the benefits of MR-Linac as a treatment approach from the perspective of various cancer patients' prognoses and to suggest prospective development areas for additional study.
近年来,人们对癌症有了新的认识,癌症的治疗也取得了令人瞩目的进展。然而,由于癌症发病率的上升,癌症的临床治疗模式在 21 世纪仍然难以实施。放射治疗(RT)是癌症治疗的一个重要组成部分,几乎对所有癌症类型都有帮助。随着计算机和成像技术的快速发展,RT 剂量传递的准确性不断提高。图像引导放射治疗(IGRT)的使用提高了癌症的疗效,降低了毒性。磁共振引导放射治疗(MRgRT)使用磁共振直线加速器(MR-Linac)将使在线自适应放射治疗成为可能,这将提高恶性肿瘤的可视性。本综述的目的是从各种癌症患者的预后角度探讨 MR-Linac 作为一种治疗方法的益处,并为进一步研究提出有前景的发展领域。
