This new volume in the Radiotherapy in Practice series provides a
comprehensive and evidence-based guide to radiotherapy in the
management of children and young people with cancer. It explains
the roles of the various modalities of treatment available,
including image-guided and intensity modulated radiotherapy,
brachytherapy, proton beam therapy, and molecular radiotherapy, and
aids selection of the most appropriate technique in different
situations. Each cancer type in children is explored, including
diagnostic investigations, risk stratification, multi-modality
approaches to treatment, and decision making with regard to
radiotherapy. Specific guidance is given for the planning and
prescription of radiotherapy for infants, children, and teenagers.
The authors also identify the need for specialist paediatric
radiotherapy service provision, and the wider requirements for
radiotherapy in children, including consent, immobilisation,
anaesthesia, multi-professional team working, and play specialist
support. With over 75 colour illustrations, case histories to
demonstrate the various approaches, and a carefully selected guide
to further reading on each topic, this practical volume will be a
valuable resource for physicians and trainees in radiotherapy and
clinical oncology, and to nurses, radiographers and other allied
health professionals who come into contact with young patients
receiving radiotherapy. 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.
