Infos

This volume is designed as a practical text to aid the radiation oncologist in both the evaluation and treatment of benign disease. The text begins with a chapter concerning standards of practice by an eminent malpractice lawyer, thereby clarifying the medical-legal implications of the radiation treatment of benign disease. The text then lists, in alphabetic order, those benign diseases which have been or are currently treated with radiation therapy. A risk/benefit analysis for each disease is given; in addition, the editors provide summary statements on the use of radiotherapy for each disease entity. A special feature is the survey of current radiation practice in the United States. The authors also give a comprehensive reference list and abstracts in tabular form of the articles written on the subject in the past decade. This complete update will become the standard text on the evaluation of radiotherapy for the treatment of benign disease.
