Description:

New high-precision technologies for the planning and delivery of radiotherapy are major advances in cancer treatment. This volume is a comprehensive guidebook to these new technologies and the many clinical treatment programs that bring them into practical use. Advances in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), 4D and adaptive treatment planning are clearly explained, and the new target localization and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) systems are comprehensively reviewed. Clinical tutorials fully illustrate the target definitions for the major cancer sites, and techniques for organ motion management are shown. In addition, chapters explore the technical basis for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and the latest clinical experience with it for most organ sites.

In this volume, foremost authorities explain the important new techniques and technologies of radiation oncolo
gy, and give essential treatment guidelines for its clinical and technical practitioners.
 
 
Review:

    'The book is an outstanding summary of modern radiotherapy technologies and
applications. The authors demonstrate the maturation of IMRT in clinical practice and the ability to control geometric uncertainties confidently with IGRT. The emergence of "stereotactic thinking" for the body (SBRT) is an exciting example of the convergence of conformal treatment and image-based target localization, and the promising treatment strategies it creates. This highly readable and richly illustrated book is a valuable resource for professionals interested in the rapidly advancing frontiers of modern radiation therapy.'
