The second edition of the well-received book updates the knowledge
of clinical treatment, radiobiology, physics, and instrumentations
to provide a comprehensive description of stereotactic body
radiation therapy (SBRT). Clinical aspects include indications and
prescriptions for diseases treated with SBRT and clinical trial
details. The chapters associated with physics cover quality
assurance, patient immobilization devices, respiratory motion
management, and treatment planning. It also illustrates the latest
devices and provides know-how for safe and reliable treatment that
differs from conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. In this
second edition, the future of SBRT using artificial intelligence in
the post-COVID-19 world will also be discussed. Stereotactic Body
Radiation Therapy 2nd Edition - Principles and
Practices enrich the readers' understanding of
patient-friendly cancer care. Radiation oncologists, medical
physicists, medical dosimetrists, radiation therapists, senior
nurses, medical oncologists, and surgical oncologists interested in
radiotherapy will benefit from this practical guide. Since the last
edition, there has been significant progress in the field, and the
book renews the facts and evidence based on cutting-edge research.
This volume focuses on the theatre history of Asian countries, and
discusses the specific context of theatre modernization in Asia.
While Asian theatre is one of the primary interests within theatre
scholarship in the world today, knowledge of Asian theatre history
is very limited and often surprisingly incorrect. Therefore, this
volume addresses a major gap in contemporary theatre studies. The
volume discusses the conflict between tradition and modernity in
theatre, suggesting that the problems of modernity are closely
related to the idea of tradition. Although Asian countries
preserved the traditional form and values of their respective
theatres, they had to also confront the newly introduced values or
mechanisms of European modernity. Several papers in this volume
therefore provide critical surveys of the history of theatre
modernization in Asian countries or regions-Japan, Korea, Taiwan,
Hong Kong, India Malaysia, Singapore, and Uyghur. Other papers
focus on specific case studies of the history of modernization,
discussing contemporary Taiwanese performances, translations of
modern French comedy into Chinese, the modernization of Chinese
Xiqu, modern Okinawan plays, Malaysian traditional performances,
Korean national theatre, and Japanese plays during World War II.
Renowned academics and theatre critics have contributed to this
volume, making it a valuable resource for researchers and students
of theatre studies, literature, and cultural studies.
This book serves as a practical guide for the use of stereotactic
body radiation therapy in clinics. On the basis of more than 10
years of clinical experience with lung cancer, liver cancer and
other cancers, a remarkable volume of knowledge has been
accumulated. At the same time, great progress in techniques has
been achieved. Various new fixing apparatuses, new respiratory
regulation techniques, new dose fractionation schedules and new
image-guided radiation therapy machines have been developed. This
book reviews the history of those developments and reports on
various types of toxicities. Review of recent clinical studies is
also included. The authors were key members of the JCOG 0403
clinical trials on stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for
both inoperable and operableT1N0M0 primary lung cancer. Readers
will learn of the superior outcomes obtained with SBRT for lung
cancer and other cancers in terms of local control and toxicities.
With its practical focus, this book will benefit radiation
oncologists, medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, radiation
therapists and senior nurses as well as medical oncologists and
surgical oncologists who are interested in radiotherapy.
