Description
Thoroughly revised and updated, the 2nd Edition presents all of the latest advances in the field, including the most recent technologies
and techniques. For each tumor site discussed, readers will find unparalleled coverage of multiple treatment plans, histology and biology
of the tumor, its anatomic location and routes of spread, and utilization of specialized techniques. This convenient source also reviews
all of the basic principles that underlie the selection and application of radiation as a treatment modality, including radiobiology,
radiation physics, immobilization and simulation, high dose rate, intraoperative irradation, and more.
