“This is an excellent book regarding the stereotactic radiation modality include focused beam, stereotactic treatment of head and neck cancers, brain tumors, Cranial and Spinal AVMs, as well as GI/Pancreas tumors, liver, prostate, and bony metastases. … I recommend this book for all Rad/Onc physicians and radiation therapists with interests in current planning protocols. … Rad Onc residents, fellows and students may be able to learn from this good book. I have no reservations in recommending this text.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, April, 2016)
