Hosszú leírás:

Expertly written and meticulously edited to ensure scientifically accurate, accessible content throughout, Gunderson and Tepper’s Clinical Radiation Oncology, 6th Edition, provides complete, multidisciplinary coverage of this complex and dynamic field. Concise, templated chapters cover the basic biology of oncologic disease processes as well as updated treatment algorithms, the latest clinical guidelines, and state-of-the-art techniques and modalities. User-friendly elements such as summarized key issues, full-color formatting, extensive use of tables and figures, and access to videos online make this reference an ideal resource for every member of the radiation oncology team.

• Divides content into three distinct sections for quick access to information: Scientific Foundations, Techniques and Modalities, and Disease Sites. Disease Site chapters include overviews summarizing the most important issues and concluding discussions on controversies and problems
• Provides expert guidance on single-modality and combined-modality approaches, as well as outcome data including disease control, survival, and treatment tolerance
• Contains a new chapter on artificial intelligence in radiation, as well as up-to-date coverage of advancements in interventional radiology tumor ablation techniques and associated outcomes; updated guidance on using Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) as a radiation dose escalation tool; and increased coverage of proton therapy
• Features more than 1,000 images?detailed anatomy drawings, radiographic images, and more - that provide outstanding visual support for every area of the text
• Covers key topics such as brachytherapy, precision radiation therapy, palliative radiotherapy, quality and safety, image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), and stereotactic radiosurgery
• Includes access to videos on intraoperative irradiation, prostate brachytherapy, penile brachytherapy, and ocular melanoma
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
