Description
This volume is the first comprehensive and practical clinical reference on proton and charged particle radiotherapy. The first half of the book explains the treatment delivery systems used, offers detailed guidance on treatment planning techniques, examines key clinical issues in proton radiotherapy, and reviews recent experience with heavier charged particle radiotherapy. The second half of the book offers "how-to" information on treatment of pediatric tumors, lymphomas, and tumors of the central nervous system, eye, skull base, cervical spine, bone and soft tissue, paranasal sinus, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx, oral cavity, salivary glands, prostate, lung, gastrointestinal tract, female reproductive tract, and breast. More than 100 full-color illustrations complement the text.

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 21-APR-08, Volume 71, Issue 1, Madelon Pijls-Johannesma, MSc, Maastricht Radiation Oncology (MAASTRO), Maastricht, The Netherlands -- "Overall, this is an excellent reference for any physicist's or physician's library. The numerous tables and clear high-quality diagrams and images accompanying the text help convey abstract concepts. A stated goal of the editors was to produce a book that presented an informative monograph on charged particle therapy to serve as an introduction for those new to this field and a useful resource for those involved in charged particle radiotherapy in the clinic. In my opinion, editors DeLaney and Kooy and the other authors have succeeded."-International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*PhysicsMore details
