Radiotherapy Books
Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers Practical Radiotherapy & Chemotherapy Planning
Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive guide to radiotherapy and chemotherapy providing clinicians with the most up to date thinking and latest advances in the field. Divided into five sections, the book begins with an overview of radiotherapy, its planning and techniques, followed by chapters on radiobiology explaining how radiotherapy works in the treatment of cancer. The next section explains the concepts of chemotherapy and common drugs, followed by detailed discussion on the planning and application of both radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the treatment of many different types of cancer. The final part of the book explains general management in oncology, covering the role of steroids and antacids, bleeding and anaemia, and treatment of pain. Key Points Comprehensive guide to radiotherapy and chemotherapy Discusses planning and application of both treatment methods Covers numerous different types of cancer Includes more than 300 images, diagrams and tables Table of ContentsSection 1: Concepts of Radiotherapy and Its Planning Radioactivity Measurement of Radiation Dose Principles of Radiation Therapy Time Dose and Fractionation in Radiotherapy Radiation Planning Basic Radiology for Radiation Oncologist Emergency Radiotherapy Radio Frequency Abalation Effects of Radiation on Normal Human Tissues Latest Radiotherapy Techniques Imaging in Oncology Radiation Oncologist with Benign Tumors Section 2: Concepts of Radiobiology Radiobiology of Radiation Absorption DNA Strand Break on Radiation Oxygen Effect and Reoxygenation Linear Energy Transfer and Relative Biological effect Cell Survival Curve Repair of Radiation Damage and Dose Rate Effect Radiosensitive of Cell and Cell Cycle Radiosensatizers Radioprotectors Brachytherapy and Endocuritherapy Section 3: Concepts of Chemotherapy and Common Drugs Concepts of Chemotherapy Chemotheraputic Drugs Targeted Cancer Therapy New Hope with Gene Therapy Side Effects of Chemotherapy Hormone Treatment in Cancer Section 4: Common Cancers and Its Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy Planning Head and Neck Cancer Breast Cancer Palliative Treatments in Breast Cancer Management of Cervical Cancer Ovarian Cancer Nasophyranx Cancer Lung Cancer Endometrial Cancer Hogkins Lymphoma Non-Hodkins Lymphoma Multiple Myeloma Testicular Cancer Urinary Bladder Cancer Prostate Cancer Kidney Cancer Gastric Cancer Colorectal Cancer Pancrease Cancer Neuroendocrine Tumor Esophageal Cancer Anal Canal Cancer Gall Bladder Cancer Skin Cancer Osteosarcoma Soft Tissue Sarcoma Larynx Cancer Brain Tumor Leukemia Paediatric Oncology Thyroid Cancer Section 5: General Management in Oncology Role of Steroids in Cancer Role of Antacids in Cancer Management of Bleeding in Cancer Anaemia in Cancer Management of Cancer Pain Bibliography Index

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Biologically Optimized Radiation Therapy
Book SynopsisRadiation therapy has developed and advanced dramatically in the last few decades. However, very little has been published or done in the area of biologically optimized treatment planning. Development of Biologically Optimized Radiation Therapy aims to fill and close an important gap in the literature with a well-focused and in-depth content.The book covers the biological, physical and clinical background of advanced biologically based radiation therapy optimization with focus on modern radiation therapy modalities such as electron, photon and light ion therapy. Highly recommended for its strong interdisciplinary profile, the book contains a meritorious compilation of previously unpublished materials in many areas of modern science. Undergraduates, researchers and practitioners such as oncologists, medical physicists and radiation biologists alike should find the book immensely informative and comprehensively thorough.Table of ContentsFundamentals of Clinical Radiation Biology (A Brahme et al.); The Biological Bases of Radiation Therapy (A Brahme et al.); Physically and Biologically Based Radiation Therapy Optimization (A Brahme et al.); Properties and Clinical Possibilities of Biologically Based Treatment Optimization (K Moaierifar & A Brahme); Development of Bioart: Biologically Optimized In Vivo Predictive Assay Based Adaptive Radiation Therapy (A Brahme); Development of High Quality Beams for Uniform and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (R Svensson et al.); Development of External Beam Treatment Units (K Moaierifar et al.); Physical, Biological and Clinical Background for the Development of Biologically Optimized Light Ion Therapy.
