Common factors that lead to treatment failure in head and neck
cancer are the lack of tumour oxygenation, the accelerated division
of cancer cells during treatment, and radioresistance. These
tumour-related challenges and possible ways to overcome them are
covered in this book, authored by three medical physicists and a
clinical oncologist who explain how different radiobiological
findings have led to the development of various treatment
techniques for head and neck cancer. Novel treatment techniques as
supported by current scientific evidence are comprehensively
explored, as well as the major challenges that arise in the
retreatment of patients who have already undergone a form of
radiotherapy for primary head and neck cancer. Features: Uses an
interdisciplinary approach, encompassing clinical aspects of
radiotherapy, radiation biology, and medical physics Applies
content by relating all radiobiological characteristics to their
respective clinical implications Explains the radiobiological
rationale for all previous and current clinical trials for head and
neck cancer
