“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)

“In this text book, Gaya and Mahedevan aim to provide a practical aid to SABR. … The book will be a useful refresher on the evidence, key issues and background information around the use of SABR and will be very helpful to trainees approaching part 2 of the FRCR.” (Professor Joe O’Sullivan, RAD Magazine, October, 2015)
