Rezensionen

"This is a highly focused, thorough review of the current status of SBRT in the treatment of prostate cancer. It details key factors that need to be considered to achieve optimal outcomes. Of note, several of these factors, such as optimizing target definition and minimizing organ motion, are pertinent for a broader range of prostate cancer patients and, as such, will appeal to readers seeking a better broad understanding of these topics." (Mark D. Hurwitz, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2019)
