Abstract：Multiple institutions at home and abroad have established and issued the standards, guidelines, criteria or reports of the quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) of radiotherapy. At present, no institutions in China have implemented systematic classification of QA-and QC-related criteria of radiotherapy. Complete standard system of QA and QC of radiotherapy should consist of clinical and physical technologies. Physical technology includes equipment, technological flow and radiation protection. The QA and QC of physical technology play a pivotal role in tumor radiotherapy. This paper introduces relevant criteria of QA and QC of radiotherapy at home and abroad.
