Successful clinical use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy
(IMRT) represents a significant advance in radiation oncology.
Because IMRT can deliver high-dose radiation to a target with a
reduced dose to the surrounding organs, it can improve the local
control rate and reduce toxicities associated with radiation
therapy. Since IMRT began being used in the mid-1990s, a large
volume of clinical evidence of the advantages of IMRT has been
collected. However, treatment planning and quality assurance (QA)
of IMRT are complicated and difficult for the clinician and the
medical physicist. This book, by authors renowned for their
expertise in their fields, provides cumulative clinical evidence
and appropriate techniques for IMRT for the clinician and the
physicist. Part I deals with the foundations and techniques,
history, principles, QA, treatment planning, radiobiology and
related aspects of IMRT. Part II covers clinical applications with
several case studies, describing contouring and dose distribution
with clinical results along with descriptions of indications and a
review of clinical evidence for each tumor site. The information
presented in this book serves as a valuable resource for the
practicing clinician and physicist.
