The scientific and clinical foundations of Radiation Therapy are cross-disciplinary. This book endeavours to bring together the physics, the radiobiology, the main clinical aspects as well as available clinical evidence behind Radiation Therapy, presenting mutual relationships between these disciplines and their role in the advancements of radiation oncology.
From the reviews:
“Trying to combine an updated account of radiotherapy physics and radiobiology is a big but important task. … a useful resource for clinical supervisors and teachers who want to make sure their lecture is up to date. … I found ‘Biomedical Physics in Radiotherapy for Cancer’ a very valuable addition to my book collection. There is nothing comparable on the market and it will proof to be an excellent resource for clinical and academic physicists and oncologists. … It is an ambitious book that succeeds.” (Tomas Kron, Australasian Physical & Engineering Science in Medicine, Vol. 35, 2012)
“The book is comprehensive in that it also tackles brachytherapy (in almost all its clinical forms), stereotactic radiosurgery, TBI, electron and neutron therapy. It has an interesting chapter on targeted radiotherapy with a largely theoretical discussion of the potential of various radioisotopes in cancer therapy. … It is well presented here. Overall, I consider this an excellent book … and I recommend it.” (Nick Plowman, RAD Magazine, October, 2012)
