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."
