Abstract
This presentation will be focus on fundamentals of radiation oncology without getting too technical. The basic issues will be focused on the yin and yang of radiation oncology, that is to say tumor and normal tissue affects and relationships between them.
Heavy emphasis will be given to fractionation simply because normal tissues love it most when the doses of radiation are protracted over time. Areas of controversy will be included and proton therapy will be mentioned briefly.
