This evidence-based guide to the current management of cancer cases
at all head and neck sites will assist in the appropriate selection
and delineation of tumor volumes/fields for intensity-modulated
radiation therapy (IMRT), including volumetric modulated arc
therapy (VMAT). Each tumor site-related chapter presents, from the
perspective of an academic expert, several actual cases at
different stages in order to clarify specific clinical concepts.
The coverage includes case presentation, a case-related literature
review, patient preparation, simulation, contouring, treatment
planning, treatment delivery, and follow-up. The text is
accompanied by illustrations ranging from slice-by-slice
delineations on planning CT images to finalized plan evaluations
based on detailed acceptance criteria. The book will be of value
for residents, fellows, practicing radiation oncologists, and
medical physicists interested in clinical radiation oncology
This book is an evidence-based guide to the prevention and current
management of acute and late toxicities of radiation therapy for a
wide range of malignancies. Each chapter focuses on a particular
anatomic site and provides information on normal sectional anatomy,
contouring of target volumes and organs at risk, dose constraints,
the pathophysiology of radiation toxicity, and treatment approaches
for each potential toxicity. The information provided will assist
in the planning and delivery of intensity-modulated radiation
therapy, including volumetric modulated arc therapy, stereotactic
radiosurgery, and stereotactic body radiotherapy. It will also
enable the selection of appropriate, evidence-based management
options in individual patients who experience radiation toxicities,
taking into account the organ-specific pathophysiology of radiation
injury. Written by acknowledged experts and featuring numerous
high-quality illustrations, the book will be an ideal reference aid
for practicing clinical and radiation oncologists, radiotherapists,
fellows, residents, and nurses.
