Bøker i Radiotherapy in Practice-serien

This book provides practical guidance on the use of brachytherapy. Each chapter gives the reader a solid background in the physics and dosimetry of the technique, followed by practical information on its use in common disease sites.

External beam therapy is used to aim highly focused beams of radiation at the edge of the site where cancer is found. This book provides practical guidance, taking the reader through the fundamentals of clinical radiotherapy followed by detailed chapters on each tumour site, covering indications, treatment, and planning.

A comprehensive, practical, and evidence-based guide to radiotherapy in the management of children and young people with cancer.
