Abstract
The review is based on the analysis of the state and the concept of modernization of world radiation oncology. The material contains brief information about the reasons for the use of radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer foci; active sources of particles; achieved results of therapy, etc. The role of accelerator technology, innovative related equipment and nuclear physics methods for the treatment of oncological diseases is described. The main characteristics of linear electron accelerators with the energy Ee = 6 MeV, the parameters of multifunctional installations with Ee = (4 - 25) MeV generating several photon and electron beams and accelerators of protons and carbon ions are given. It is shown that to date, the treatment of malignant foci with beams of protons and carbon ions has surpassed all existing methods in terms of efficiency.
