Description
One of the field's leading references returns in a brand-new 8th Edition that provides vital information on treatment decisions, prognosis, and complications from recognized experts in each specific area of radiation oncology. The New Edition offers updated chapters throughout, as well as, new sections on brachytherapy, 3-D conformal treatment planning, radiolabeled antibodies, and sterotactic radiosurgery.
Provides clinical evidence for therapeutic recommendations, wherever available.
Reviews the physical and biological basis for radiation therapy and radiation physics, as well as the principles involved in combining radiation therapy with both surgery and chemotherapy
Uses an organ-system organization to present the most effective methods for each part of the body.
Addresses special considerations such as radiation therapy for transplant recipients, palliative care, and the clinical applications of new modalities.
Covers all of the latest techniques and radiotherapeutic modalities - including brachytherapy, 3-D conformal radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery.
Integrates the most recent advances in treatment for head and neck cancers, leukemia, cancers of the prostate and central nervous systems, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, and more.
