• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is designed to help health care providers accurately plan and deliver radiation therapy to children. The first section of the book discusses the statistics of pediatric cancer incidence and survival. It reviews the literature on radiation-induced secondary malignancies and addresses the use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in children. The second section presents disease-specific chapters. Each one provides a clinical overview of the disease, describes treatment planning and delivery, and surveys latent effects as well as the tolerance of organs to various doses of radiation.
