Radiation Oncology: An Evidence-Based Approach
(ROEBA) is a reference book designed to enable radiation oncologists,
including those in training, to make diagnostic and treatment decisions
on the basis of the best available scientific evidence. Ease of use is
ensured by a structured, reader-friendly format that offers rapid
access to evidence-based recommendations. ROEBA’s orientation is
entirely practical, in that the focus is solely on diagnostic/staging
and treatment issues. Detailed diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines
are provided for multidisciplinary cancer management as well as
radiation therapy techniques. The evidence underlying each
recommendation is clearly and concisely explained, and the strength of
the recommendations and evidence is systemically graded.
Furthermore, diagnostic and treatment algorithms are provided for
commonly diagnosed cancers, including non-small-cell lung cancer,
small-cell lung cancer, most gastrointestinal and genitourinary tumors,
and certain head and neck cancers. This ground-breaking text on
radiation oncology is an essential tool for physicians in their daily
clinical practice.
Written for:
Clinicians,
professionals, practitioners, and scientists/researchers in radiation
