Chapters discuss disease by anatomic site covering relevant background information on each tumor, including epidemiology, pathology, diagnostic work-up, prognostic factors, treatment techniques, applications of surgery and chemotherapy, end results of treatment, and pertinent clinical trials. The comprehensive and rigorous assessment of each tumor site provides the foundation for the proper application of radiation therapy technique equipping the radiation oncologist with a \"gold standard\" approach.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This edition:   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes the latest developments in the field; intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy, and particle beam therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes two new chapters: \u003ci\u003ePalliative Radiotherapy, and Statistics in Radiation Oncology\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures a vibrant and extremely comprehensive head and neck section\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides immediately applicable treatment algorithms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs extensively illustrated with over 250 photographs, drawings, and diagrams\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cp\u003e As in the first two editions, the Third Edition of \u003ci\u003eClinical Radiation Oncology\u003c\/i\u003e features contributions from renowned international specialists who have worked in a close collaboration to provide focused, clinically relevant information in a concise, user-friendly format ideal for the radiation oncologist, oncologic surgeon, medical oncologist, oncology nurse, radiation therapist, and resident. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988934639845,"sku":"NP9780470905524","price":208.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470905524.jpg?v=1761782114","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/clinical-radiation-oncology-isbn-9780470905524","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
