SUMMARY Voluminous tumors represent a challenge in radiation oncology, particularly when surgical resection is not possible. Lattice radiotherapy (LTR) is a technique that may provide equivalent or superior clinical response in the management of large tumors while limiting toxicity to adjacent normal tissues. LRT can precisely deliver inhomogeneous high doses of radiation to different areas within the gross tumor volumes (GTV). The dosimetric characteristic of LTR is defined by the ratio of the valley dose (lower doses – cold spots) and the peak doses, also called vertex (higher doses - hot spots), or the valley-to-peak dose ratio. The valley-to-peak ratio thereby quantifies the degree of spatial fractionation. LRT delivers high doses of radiation without exceeding the tolerance of adjacent critical structures. Radiobiological experiments support the role of radiation-induced bystander effects, vascular alterations, and immunologic interactions in areas subject to low dose radiation. The technological advancements continue to expand in Radiation Oncology, bringing new safety opportunities of treatment for bulky lesions.
