Summary:
The primary objective of this book is to teach trainees, fellows and clinicians in radiation oncology how to incorporate IMRT into their practice.
IMRT has proven to be an extremely effective treatment modality for head and neck cancers. It is now being used effectively in other sites, including, prostate, breast, lung, GYN, the cervix, CNS and lymph nodes.
The book will provide in a consistent format an overview of the natural course, lymph node spread, diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic options for each cancer sub site.

FEATURES:
- Was the first (clinical) IMRT book on the market
- Lavishly illustrated, including approximately 50 full colour illustrations spread throughout the book
- Stepwise, practical approach to the evaluation, decision-making and (IMRT) treatment of patients with cancers of the prostate, breast, lung, GYN, the cervix, CNS and lymph nodes
- Focuses solely on areas with good clinical data
- Review of current IMRT literature summarized in tables

NEW TO THIS EDITION:
