Description and Table of Contents
Description
Designed for on-the-spot consultation in the clinical setting, this pocket manual presents the most essential, clinically relevant information from the volume, "Principles and Practice of Radiation Oncology, Third Edition". The book provides the oncology team with guidance on the selection of therapy and the optimal use of radiation for specific cancers. The first 12 chapters review the fundamentals of patient management and the basic concepts that are crucial in the daily practice of radiation oncology. Included are discussions of three-dimensional physics and treatment planning; clinical aspects of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy; stereotactic irradiation; physics and dosimetry of high dose rate brachytherapy; and nonsealed radionuclide therapy. The remaining 53 chapters describe treatment regimes for all cancer sites and tumour types. Coverage includes pain management and palliation of brain, spinal cord, bone, and visceral metastases.
