The third edition of this work features 13 new chapters and has been revised to reflect developments in the area of radiation oncology. It covers aspects of the subject from basic cancer biology, radiation biology, and radiation therapy physics to treatment regimens for all cancer sites and tumour types and discussion of results. New chapters in the third edition cover three-dimensional physics and treatment planning; clinical aspects of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy; stereotactic irradiation; physics and dosimetry of high dose rate brachytherapy; clinical applications of low dose rate and high dose rate brachytherapy; nonsealed radiation sources and radiouclides; physics of high LET particles and protons; and boron neutron capture. Another new area addressed is palliation of brain, spinal cord, bone, and visceral metastases. A chapter on pain management has also been added.
Overview; biological basis of radiation therapy; altered fractionation schedules; morphology of radiation effects on normal tissues; late effects of cancer treatment - radiation and drug toxicity; staging and classification of the cancer and the host - a unified approach versus neotaxonomy; methodology of clinical trials; principles of radiologic physics, dosimetry and treatment planning; physics and clinical applications of electron beam therapy; total body and hemibody radiation; three-dimensional physics and treatment planning; 3-D conformal radiation therapy - clinical aspects; stereotactic irradiation; physics of brachytherapy; physics and dosimetry of high dose rate brachytherapy; clinical applications of brachytherapy, I; clinical applications of brachytherapy, II; nonsealed sources, radionuclides; physics of high LET particles and protons; particle beam radiation therapy - clinical applications; radioimmunoglobulins in cancer therapy; hyperthermia; chemical modifiers of radiation; chemotherapy and irradiation; skin.
