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

The late John ""Jack"" Fowler was a busy radiation biology
researcher and teacher who wrote 581 papers over the last 65 plus
years. He also received nearly every honour the medical physics
field can bestow. This book sums up the key concepts relating to
optimum fractionation in radiation therapy that interested him
throughout his life. Just under 100 pages in length, this book is a
quick, informative, and enjoyable read.
