About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
“This is the second edition of comprehensive radiation oncology handbook that concisely summarizes treatment guidelines, staging, and pertinent studies for each organ system/pathology. … The primary audience is radiation oncology physicians, both residents and senior level physicians, and medical students. Medical/surgical oncologists wishing to get a better perspective on the field of radiation oncology may find this book useful as well. … This is a must-have handbook for any radiation oncology resident or student. It is also a very helpful guide for attending physicians.” (James G. Douglas, Doody’s Review Service, November, 2010)
“This book developed out of a need for a reference text for doctors, fellows and students of radiation oncology. … The aim of this book remains as a practical, quick reference guide. … The text is well supported by evidence based medicine throughout. The reader is supplied with comprehensive data from international studies. … In conclusion, I would recommend this handbook, especially to the trainee radiation oncologist, as it contains essential information on the major tumour sites along with the supporting evidence.” (Karin Baria, Oncology News, Vol. 7 (3), July/August, 2012)
