Springer | Radiology | October 18, 2016 | ISBN-10: 3319403907 | 158 pages | pdf | 10.17 mb

Editors: Bellon, J.R., Wong, J.S., MacDonald, S.M., Ho, A.Y. (Eds.)
Offers clear guidance on radiation techniques and treatment planning in breast cancer
Considers both conventional radiation therapy and advanced options such as IMRT and proton beam therapy
Provides practical information on delineation of tumor volumes


This book addresses the day-to-day treatment planning issues that radiation oncologists are likely to encounter during the treatment of breast cancer patients and provides numerous practical “tips” that will assist in navigation of the treatment planning process, from delineation of the tumor boundaries to discrimination of adjacent normal tissues and critical structures at risk of radiation injury. Differences in target delineation and treatment planning according to technique are emphasized, with coverage of conventional radiation therapy and advanced techniques including cardiac-sparing approaches, e.g., using active breathing control, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, proton beam therapy, and electron beam therapy post mastectomy. Individual chapters also focus on radiation setup and verification techniques and radiation treatment planning systems. The book, which is part of the Springer series Practical Guides in Radiation Oncology, is designed for hands-on use by radiation oncology residents/fellows in training and practicing radiation oncologists.
