This book gathers into a single volume the most up-to-date information on radiosensitizing drugs, the mechanisms of radiosensitization, and the clinical applications of this treatment modality. Written for radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, graduate students and residents in various branches of oncology, the text details a range of agents and treatment pathways. Intuitively organized by topic and application, it includes the latest clinical trials, extensive illustrations, and a wealth of references.
