Reviews
From the reviews:
“‘Re-irradiation: New frontiers’ attempts to provide a comprehensive overview on current re-irradiation strategies and addresses re-irradiation methods, technical aspects, the role of combined therapy with anticancer drugs and hyperthermia, as well as normal tissue tolerance. … In summary, this is a book which brings together the available evidence on re-irradiation, which I suspect might be useful as an occasional reference text in the hospital library … .” (Joe O’Sullivan, RAD Magazine, February, 2012)
“This very detailed and in-depth book, will be appreciated by those working in the field, oncology radiotherapists as well as clinicians and surgeons who have to deal with this difficult medical problem.” (Giampiero Beluffi, La Radiologia Medica, Vol. 118, 2013)
