Abstract Radiotherapy is an important component of combined treatment modality for lymphoma. Radical, consolidation and palliative radiotherapy are recommended in patients with different pathological subtypes and chemotherapy responses. With the development of novel systemic treatment and better understanding of long-term adverse effect with radiotherapy over the past 10 years, tremendous changes have taken place in the target delineation and dose prescription of radiotherapy. This guideline aims at establishing a standardized process in radiotherapy administration, including simulation, target delineation, dose prescription and plan evaluation for common lymphoma subtypes in China based on research evidence and expert opinions, with the purpose of promoting clinical application, improving treatment quality and efficacy as well as reducing adverse effects.
