About this book
Reviews
“This is a book regarding an outstanding review of proton, neutron, and carbon ion therapies for several malignancies. … Radiographs illustrating the various points are also helpful for students, physicians, and practicing radiation oncologists. Nuclear medicine specialists will also benefit from this fine book. I have no regrets in strongly recommending this text.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, July, 2015)
