This comprehensive handbook on the implementation of short course radiotherapy for the treatment of breast cancer is intended as an up-to-date resource for the clinician. The book opens with a series of chapters on underlying principles and diverse relevant topics, including pathologic anatomy of early-stage breast cancer, radiobiology of accelerated breast irradiation, quality assurance and radiation safety, surgical considerations in partial breast irradiation, and impact of oncoplastic surgery on adjuvant radiotherapy. Individual sections are then devoted to hypofractionated whole breast radiotherapy, accelerated partial breast irradiation, and intraoperative radiotherapy. Each section includes details of patient selection, physics, techniques, data, and toxicity. The reader is provided with clear guidance on the appropriate use of accelerated forms of adjuvant radiotherapy for treatment of early-stage breast cancer and on various emerging treatment approaches.
"It is sometimes good to take stock of a situation and of the four major issues in breast radio therapy viz. hypofractionation, partial breast radiation, intraoperative radio therapy and extent of nodal radiation. The first three are comprehensively reviewed in this excellent and well referenced book. . Overall an excellent book for the shelves of every evidenced base breast radiation oncologist." (Dr. Nick Plowman, RAD Magazine, September, 2016)

Dr. Khan has been at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey since 2007 after completing a fellowship in brachytherapy at the Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard. Prior to that, he completed a residency in radiation oncology at Rush University Medical Center. Dr. Khan's primary focus has been in breast cancer, as well as radiation therapy for central nervous system/brain tumors. Dr Khan is interested in the discovery of novel radiosensitizers and in advanced modalities of highly conformal radiotherapy, such as image-guided brachytherapy and proton therapy.
Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
