Abstract
Background: Cancer is one of the most dreadful diseases all over the world that can cause death. Cancer could be treated with different methods such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Methodology: In this review study, various techniques in cancer treatment especially radiotherapy modalities including three dimensional radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, image guided radiation therapy, intra operative radiotherapy, stereotactic methods and brachytherapy are reviewed and discussed. Conclusion: Over recent years, radiotherapy techniques have been greatly developed which create various suitable conditions for the treatment of different cancers while sparing normal tissues. As the radiotherapy techniques developed, tumor covering and precision on dose delivery increased.Keywords: Cancer, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery, intra operative radiotherapy, brachytherapy.

Current Progress in Protein Degradation and Cancer Therapy
Targeted Protein Degradation is gaining momentum in cancer therapy; it facilitates targeting undruggable proteins, overcomes cancer resistance, and avoids undesirable side effects. Thus small molecule degraders have emerged as novel therapeutic strategies. Targeted protein degradation (TPD), the process of eliminating a protein of interest holds a great promise for the ...read more
