Radiotherapy
Walter and Miller's Textbook of Radiotherapy is a key textbook for therapeutic radiography students as well as trainee clinical and medical oncologists, clinical physicists and technologists. The book is divided into 2 sections. The first section covers physics and provides a comprehensive review of radiotherapy physics. This section is designed to be non-physicist friendly, to simply and clearly explain the physical principles upon which radiotherapy and its technology are based. The second section is a systematic review by tumour site giving an up to date summary of radiotherapy practice. The title also covers the place of chemotherapy, surgery and non-radiotherapy treatments as well as the principles of cancer patient treatment including supportive care and palliative treatments. It is a comprehensive must-have resource for anyone studying therapeutic radiotherapy.

Highly illustrated in full colour including 350 photographs.

Clearly and simply explains the fundamental physics for clinicians

Gives an up to date summary of radiotherapy practice organised by tumour site making it very easy to navigate.

Describes the wide range of devices and clearly explains the principles behind their operation.

Comprehensively explains the calculation models of dose predictions for treatment preparation.

Heavy emphasis on how clinical trials have influenced current practice.

Shows how radiobiological knowledge has influenced current practice such as the fractionation regimens for breast and prostate cancer

Proton therapy; machines, dose measurement, covering the clinical advantages and pitfalls of this treatment modality.

New radiotherapy modalities such as stereotactic radiotherapy, types of intensity modulated radiotherapy and imaged guided radiotherapy are comprehensively covered as are recent advances in chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy.

In depth coverage of dose measurement and new devices.
