SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This is a highly practical resource about the specific technical aspects of delivering radiation treatment. Pocket-sized and well organized for ease of use, the book is designed to lead radiation oncology trainees and residents step by step through the basics of radiotherapy planning and delivery for all major malignancies. This second edition retains the valued features of the first edition-comprehensive yet concise, practical, evidence-based-while incorporating recent advances in the field. This includes expanded and updated discussions of SBRT for prostate and GI tumors, intraoperative.
