External beam therapy is the most common form of radiotherapy,
delivering ionizing radiation such as high-energy x-rays, gamma
rays, or electron beams directly into the location of the patient's
tumour. Now in its third edition, this book is an essential,
practical guide to external beam radiotherapy planning and
delivery, covering the rapid technological advances made in recent
years. The initial chapters give a detailed insight into the
fundamentals of clinical radiotherapy. This is followed by
systematic details for each tumour site commonly treated with
radiotherapy, covering indications, treatment, and planning. The
final chapter covers the all important aspect of quality assurance
in radiotherapy delivery. This third edition has been fully updated
and revised to reflect new techniques, including details of
intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), image guided radiotherapy
(IGRT), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and proton therapy.
Written by experts in each field, External Beam Therapy is an
invaluable companion to professionals and trainees in medical
physics, therapeutic radiology, and clinical or radiation oncology.
ABOUT THE SERIES Radiotherapy remains the major non-surgical
treatment modality for the management of malignant disease. It is
based on the application of the principles of applied physics,
radiobiology, and tumour biology to clinical practice. Each volume
in the series takes the reader through the basic principles of the
use of ionizing radiation and then develops this by individual
sites. This series of practical handbooks is aimed at physicians
both training and practising in radiotherapy, as well as medical
physics, dosimetrists, radiographers, and senior nurses.
