Radiotherapy Books
Oxford University Press Physics for Clinical Oncology Radiotherapy in
Book SynopsisRadiotherapy remains a major non-surgical treatment modality for malignant disease, and an understanding of how this treatment works is essential in ensuring optimum practice. Trainees in oncology learn about ionising radiation, but to understand it fully they must also understand the physics relevant to its use in therapy. This book is written specifically for the oncology and radiation team, supporting clinical oncologists in their understanding of the science which underpins radiotherapy. It begins with basic concepts and then explores the principles and practice of physics as it relates to radiotherapy, including discussion of specific types of therapy.Written by authors chosen for their expertise in in their respective fields, and aligned to the Royal College of Radiologists FRCR Curriculum in Oncology, this volume will provide an excellent source of information for trainee and practicing oncologists, and wider radiotherapy teams. This second edition has been fully updated to reflect advances in technology and the increased complexity in modern radiotherapy, including two new chapters on imaging and a new brachytherapy chapter.Table of Contents1: Amen Sibtain, Andrew Morgan, and Niall MacDougall: Basic physics essential to the radiation oncologist 2: Amen Sibtain, Andrew Morgan, and Niall MacDougall: The life cycle of a photon 3: Andrew Morgan and Andy Nisbet: Electrons, protons, neutrons 4: Niall MacDougall and Andrew Morgan: Putting the IT in RT 5: Tony Greener and John Byrne: Radiation dosimetry 6: Ranald Mackay and Alan Hounsell: X-ray beam physics 7: George Pitchford and Andy Nisbet: Electron beam physics 8: Frances Lavender and Gemma Whitelaw: Imaging for treatment planning 9: Niall MacDougall, Andrew Morgan, and Christopher Dean: Radiotherapy treatment planning (x-ray) 10: Frances Lavender: Imaging for treatment delivery 11: Ondrée Severn: Beam therapy equipment 12: Gemma Whitelaw and Susan Corcoran: Brachytherapy 13: Jonathan Gear, Glenn Flux, and Brenda Pratt: Unsealed sources for therapy 14: Jim Thurston: Radiation protection 15: Niall MacDougall and Andrew Morgan: Quality assurance in radiotherapy

Nova Science Publishers Inc The Revolution of Robotic Stereotactic
Book SynopsisLung cancer, which was rare at the beginning of the 20th century, is now a major cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women. It is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world. With conventional radiation therapy, small doses of radiation are delivered on a daily Monday-to-Friday schedule over a period of approximately a month and a half. After receiving this therapy, some reversible side effects, such as local skin irritation, are common. Robotic stereotactic radiotherapy is based on the principle of delivering high doses of radiation to the tumor while sparing or avoiding the surrounding tissues, which has been one of the greatest limiting factors of conventional radiation therapy historically. Given the advancements in technology, the reproducibility of patient positioning and the capability to deliver radiation from hundreds of different directions while synchronizing respiration-induced target motion, this technology is now proposed as a new local treatment, completed in less than one week, with promising results.

IAEA Selecting Megavoltage Treatment Technologies in
Book SynopsisRadiotherapy can be delivered with different types of machine, such as external beam high energy radiation machines, kilovoltage machines and brachytherapy equipment. Variation in the incidence of different cancer types, the complexity and cost of treatment technologies, and differences in local social, economic and physical circumstances are all factors that influence technology acquisition, purchase and implementation. This publication addresses one of the many factors, associated with the planning of a new radiotherapy facility or the upgrade of an existing one – the selection of a high energy (megavoltage) radiotherapy machine. The two main high energy machine types are medical linear accelerators (linacs) and cobalt?60 machines. Although both treatment modalities have been compared extensively in the relevant literature, very few publications describe all the issues to consider when choosing a megavoltage machine. This publication puts all appropriate questions into context and provides information for non?technical administrators and decision makers, and for professionals directly involved in treating patients.
