Radiotherapy in clinical practice
Radiotherapy is one of the cornerstones of the treatment of malignant disease, and modern techniques used in conjunction with chemotherapy and surgery have radically improved the prognosis for patients. Although the practice of radiotherapy still may be considered by some to be more of an art than a science, the empirical era has passed and basic radiobiological research coupled with extensive clinical investigation has led to a more rational and scientifically founded approach. Radiotherapy in Clinical Practice, is a major new work for those in training or practice, and reflects the maturity of the discipline. The editor, an experienced radiotherapist of many years' standing, has assembled a team of experts from the United Kingdom to write authoritative accounts of their particular subjects. Every aspect of radiotherapeutic management of tumours is covered in detail.
