内容説明
The product of an international team of expert radiation oncologists assembled by the World Health Organization, this book is a concise practical guide to the use of radiotherapy in both curative and palliative therapy of patients with cancer. It provides the reader with examples of the basic radiotherapeutic approaches to treatment, with other modalities such as chemotherapy and hormonal therapy also covered where appropriate.
The manual will be an invaluable introduction and `on the spot' reference for both trainee and practising radiotherapists and radiographers. Covering the treatment of a wide range of cancers, the book also provides useful information about the incidence and risk factors, the natural history, the necessary diagnostic investigations and the staging of the cancer which can all aid the physician to make an appropriate management decision. Additional information is provided on the organization of radiotherapy facilities and regional needs for radiotherapy resources, with emphasis given to establishing basic treatment rules and protocols for safe clinical practice. The book concludes with a list of useful references focusing on general issues concerning cancer management and palliative care.
