内容説明

An up-to-date briefing on the latest technical developments in biology and physics that are changing the practice of radiation oncology. Doctors Mauch and Loeffler have assembled contributors in the forefront of research and practice who clearly detail essential advances in the areas of improved tumour localization, more precise delivery of radiation, drug development, and in molecular biology and genetics. The clinical implications of these new tools, techniques and medications are fully explored. Informed and perceptive assessments of present-day uses and potential future applications point the way to improved cancer therapy.
