Abstract

Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the most widely used and effective cancer treatments. With the increasing need for organ reconstruction and advancements in material technology, an increasing number of patients with cancer have metallic implants. These implants can affect RT dosage and clinical outcomes, warranting careful consideration by oncologists. The present review discussed the mechanisms by which different types of metallic implants impact various stages of the RT process, examined methods to mitigate these effects during treatment, and discussed the clinical implications of metallic implants on RT outcomes. In summary, when metallic implants are present within the RT field, oncologists should carefully assess their impact on the treatment.
