内容説明

With the wide distribution of linear accelerators throughout the world today, it is imperative that those utilizing this new generation of accelerators be familiar with the physical, radiobiological and clinical aspects of high energy electrons. This volume provides an update on high energy electron beam treatment of cancer. Recognized authorities discuss techniques, dosimetry and clinical aspects of external beam electron therapy in a variety of cancer types. Further contributions are devoted to the considerable knowledge that has recently been gained about the technique of the intraoperative electron beam therapy of cancer and its potential complications.
