内容説明
Radiotherapy itself has expanded in scope, to encompass advanced technological developments in physics, new concepts in biology and increased complexity in patient management. In the past, radiotherapy was practised at a routine technical level, whereas now it is firmly based in internal medicine with a strong emphasis on clinical research. For the young clinician entering the specialty, the spectrum of possibilities is wide and it is particularly important that full advantage is taken of the opportunities to innovate and to maintain an awareness of developments in science that seem likely to impinge on the field. This excellent volume will certainly make an important contribution to this awareness, whilst refreshing senior clinicians in established practice.
