Book Synopsis Principles and Practice of Image-guided Abdominal Radiation Therapy by : Yu Kuang

Download or read book Principles and Practice of Image-guided Abdominal Radiation Therapy written by Yu Kuang. This book was released on 2023. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 to 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 discusses 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. Part of IPEM-IOP Series in Physics and Engineering in Medicine and Biology.

Download or read book Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy written by Yasushi Nagata. This book was released on 2015-08-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves as a practical guide for the use of stereotactic body radiation therapy in clinics. On the basis of more than 10 years of clinical experience with lung cancer, liver cancer and other cancers, a remarkable volume of knowledge has been accumulated. At the same time, great progress in techniques has been achieved. Various new fixing apparatuses, new respiratory regulation techniques, new dose fractionation schedules and new image-guided radiation therapy machines have been developed. This book reviews the history of those developments and reports on various types of toxicities. Review of recent clinical studies is also included. The authors were key members of the JCOG 0403 clinical trials on stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for both inoperable and operableT1N0M0 primary lung cancer. Readers will learn of the superior outcomes obtained with SBRT for lung cancer and other cancers in terms of local control and toxicities. With its practical focus, this book will benefit radiation oncologists, medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, radiation therapists and senior nurses as well as medical oncologists and surgical oncologists who are interested in radiotherapy.
