      Abstract

      Radiation therapy continues to be an integral part of a multimodality treatment plan in the definitive, preoperative, postoperative, and palliative management of all stages of lung cancer. As radation techniques continue to evolve though innovative technological improvements, escalating costs related to advanced technologies must be balanced with potential benefits in terms of disease or symptom/toxicity control. "Value" in cancer care can be be difficult to strictly define and quantify but standardly involves assessment of quality vs costs. Frameworks for defining value within Radiation Oncology have been proposed to include elements from the quality of care delivery to both objective and subjective outcomes including survival and patient-reported outcomes. Advanced techniques within Radiation Oncology have been shown to be cost effective in many situations, but, as always, careful patient selection is key.
