Abstract
Radiation oncology is a medical specialty dealing with the use of radiation beams or sources for the treatment of tumors in humans. Since the birth of the specialty in the late nineteenth century, many of the critical advances in the field have been due to advances in the pure and applied physics of electromagnetic waves, and more recently in the field of applied nuclear physics. The evolution of radiation oncology to the present day will be highlighted by giving selected examples of developments in physics that had major impact on the field, and possible paths for progress in the future will be given.
