Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

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.

Key Features:

Offers digestible information for radiation therapy practice in abdominal cancers Provides quick reference for implementing image-guided radiation therapy technique for abdominal cancer treatment Places emerging techniques into image-guided radiotherapy context and points out relevance in current practice Incorporates evidence from randomized clinical trials whenever possible to validate clinical recommendations. Emphasizes clinical uses of image-guided radiation therapy for abdominal cancers, providing pertinent, easy-to-understand information on state-of-the-art treatments.
