Produktbeschreibung

The application of image-guided radiation therapy in the treatment of abdominal cancers presents multiple challenges. This book is intended to familiarize the practitioner with the unique aspects of abdominal irradiation with cutting-edge image guidance. Treatment of abdominal cancers is a complex and dynamic area of oncology, and radiation therapy is playing an increasingly prominent role. The purpose of this book is to provide a step-by-step guide of image-guided radiation treatment (IGRT) for abdominal cancers. The book not only provides information for radiation oncologists and medical physicists on the evidence that broadly drives our practice, but also to discuss practical details that arise in the day-to-day management. Finally, the authors also address the shortcomings of our present-day knowledge and look forward to future directions. This text is divided into four broad categories: an overview of IGRT on abdominal cancers; principles of IGRT for abdominal cancer; practice of IGRT for abdominal cancer; advances in IGRT for abdominal cancers. As such, the book not only covers the fundamental knowledge required to implement the IGRT techniques in abdominal cancer treatment with detailed operational procedures involved, but also provides an overview of emerging techniques for future application.
