Radiotherapy, as an inseparable link in cancer treatment for over a century, continues to be used in a way that adapts to current technology and artificial intelligence. Apart from the treatment of malignant tumors, the importance of radiotherapy is also inevitable in benign diseases.

In benign diseases, when surgical or other methods fail to yield results and in patients who cannot undergo surgery, radiotherapy attracts attention with its successful results as a single modality after surgery or alone, accompanied by current literature.

In this book, the basics of radiotherapy in benign diseases, clinical applications, side effects and recommendations have been prepared and presented to you with the efforts and contributions of our valuable professors who are experienced in their fields, accompanied by current literature.

We would like to thank all our professors who contributed to the book and the Türkiye Klinikleri Editorial Team.
