Designed to provide a better understanding of the natural history of cancer, the physical and technological methods of radiation application, the effects of irradiation on normal tissues, and the most judicious ways in which radiation therapy can be employed in the treatment of patients with cancer, either as a single modality or as part of a multi-modality treatment program.
All references printed in the book are now streamlined for quick access to further information.
Site-specific chapters include relevant background information on each tumor-including epidemiology, pathology, diagnostic work-up, prognostic factors, treatment techniques, applications of surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and biological therapy, end results, and more.
Increased focus on new approaches and technologies with new and updated chapters.
Greater emphasis on palliative and supportive care reflects the role of radiation treatment in non-curative roles.
An international group of expert chapter authors keeps you well-informed.
A completely revised first chapter is designed to provide an overview of the discipline of radiation oncology.
