Background: This is a perspective article with the aim to contextualize Halberstaedter’s legacy and outline lessons for modern oncology, rather than to exhaustively review all literature. We revisit Prof. Ludwig Halberstaedter’s 1928 report on the Radiology Institute at Charité Hospital in Berlin, Germany, marking its 25th anniversary with added historical and scientific context. Summary: The Radiology Institute (Roentgenabteilung) was established in 1916. This article illuminates the history of modern radiotherapy. Motivated by the upcoming centennial of his contributions, we performed a detailed historical and document analysis of his original article, contextualizing his methods and clinical observations within early twentieth century oncology and comparing them to today’s challenges. This reflective article aimed to contextualize Halberstaedter’s legacy and outline lessons for modern oncology, rather than exhaustively reviewing all literature. Halberstaedter’s work chronicles the technical challenges of early X-ray and radium equipment, his pioneering use of fractionated high-voltage irradiation, and the strategic integration of radiotherapy with surgery and adjuvant radium app
