AB Over  the  past  century,  cancer  treatment  has  evolved  into  a  multimodality  approach,  necessitating  surgery,  chemotherapy,  radiation  therapy,  and/or  immunotherapy.  These  therapies  are  administered  alone  or  in  different  combinations  and  order  depending  on  the  pathology  and  biology  of  the  malignancy.  Most  recent  Surveillance,  Epidemiology,  and  End  Results  (SEER)  data  predict  that  in  2016,  there  will  be  nearly  1.66  million  new  cases  of  malignant  neoplasms  and  more  than  half  of  those  diagnosed  with  cancer  will  receive  radiation  therapy  during  the  course  of  the  disease,  either  as  neoadjuvant,  primary,  or  adjuvant  treatment.1,2
