Pocket Radiation Oncology 2e

"Pocket Radiation Oncology (The MD Anderson Cancer Center Handbook of Radiation Oncology) provides attending physicians, fellows, and residents with a concise guide to help with the active management and review of specific cases in radiation oncology. It provides the basic fundamentals and can guide the practitioner with the necessary tools and information to dig deeper into specific cases. The handbook covers all major stages of commonly treated diseases and includes treatment techniques for both common and rare malignancies. Unlike most pocket references, there is section dedicated to treatment planning and dose constraints, which includes specific figures which are helpful in determining how blocks should be drawn and which areas should be avoided during radiation therapy.

Covered also: insight into emerging technologies; clinical pearls related to these technologies, as well as areas of concern that could lead to catastrophic complications"--
