Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2022! For more than 30 years,
Perez and Brady's Principles and Practice of Radiation Oncology has
been the must-have standard reference for radiation oncologists and
radiation oncology residents who need a comprehensive text covering
both the biological and physical science aspects of this complex
field as well as disease site-specific information on the
integrated, multidisciplinary management of patients with cancer.
The book has established itself as the discipline's
"text-of-record," belonging on the shelf of all of those working in
the field. The Seventh Edition continues this tradition of
excellence with extensive updates throughout, many new chapters,
and more than 1,400 full-color illustrations that highlight key
concepts in tumor pathogenesis, diagnosis, and targeted radiation
therapy. Comprehensive coverage of the current state of knowledge
of cancer biology; medical radiation physics; clinical radiation
oncology; and radiation oncology economics, ethics, and public
policy. Regular, twice-yearly content updates available with the
digital version of the text. Ideal for radiation oncologists,
radiation oncology residents, radiation biologists, medical
radiation physicists, oncologists, physicists-in-training,
radiation dosimetrists, and nurses and physician assistants working
in radiation oncology departments. New chapters include: Proton and
Carbon Ion Beam Dosimetry and Treatment Planning; Stereotactic
Radiation Therapy; Re-Irradiation; Error Avoidance; Undergraduate,
Graduate, and Continuing Medical Education in Radiation Oncology;
and a completely rewritten chapter on the economics of radiation
oncology. Designed to provide a better understanding of the natural
history of cancer, the physical and technological methods of
radiation application, the effects of irradiation on normal
tissues, and the most judicious ways in which radiation therapy can
be employed in the treatment of patients with cancer, either as a
single modality or as part of a multi-modality treatment program.
All references printed in the book are now streamlined for quick
access to further information. Site-specific chapters include
relevant background information on each tumor-including
epidemiology, pathology, diagnostic work-up, prognostic factors,
treatment techniques, applications of surgery, chemotherapy,
immunotherapy and biological therapy, end results, and more.
Increased focus on new approaches and technologies with new and
updated chapters. Greater emphasis on palliative and supportive
care reflects the role of radiation treatment in non-curative
roles. An international group of expert chapter authors keeps you
well-informed. A completely revised first chapter is designed to
provide an overview of the discipline of radiation oncology. This
will be particularly useful for residents beginning training and
medical students beginning a radiation oncology clinical clerkship.
The chapter is supplemented with multiple sidebars to augment the
reader's understanding of the field. Enhance Your eBook Reading
