Description:
Thoroughly revised and updated, the 2nd Edition presents all of the
latest advances in the field, including the most recent technologies
and techniques. For each tumor site discussed, readers will find
unparalleled coverage of multiple treatment plans, histology and
biology of the tumor, its anatomic location and routes of spread, and
utilization of specialized techniques. This convenient source also
reviews all of the basic principles that underlie the selection and application of radiation as a
treatment modality, including radiobiology, radiation physics,
immobilization and simulation, high dose rate, intraoperative
irradation, and more.
Key feature:
- Comprehensively reviews each topic, with a distinct clinical orientation throughout.
- Serves
as a foundation for the basic principles that underlie the selection
and application of radiation as a treatment modality, including
radiobiology, radiation physics, immobilization and simulation, high
dose rate, intraoperative irradation, and more.
- Guides readers
through all stages of treatment application with step-by-step
techniques for the assessment and implementation of radiotherapeutic
options.
