Review

From the reviews of the fourth edition:

"This book provides a detailed outline of radiation therapy (RT) ... . Although the text is extensive in its coverage of cancer types, each chapter is sufficiently succinct to be quite readable. ... Although it is primarily aimed at radiation oncologists, the text will be of use to physicists and radiation therapists." (Martin A. Ebert, Australian Physics, Vol. 43 (4), 2006)

DOODY REVIEW FROM Doody Enterprises, Inc. - COPYRIGHT 2007

{Reviewer} Nate Bittner, MD(University of Washington School Medical Center)

This excellent book is highly recommended for radiation oncology residents and practitioners. In particular, it focuses on many of the finer technical details of treatment which are often neglected in the standard radiation oncology reference books. Although the book is highly technical, it is concise and readable, making it an excellent reference.
