Handbook of Dosimetry Data for Radiotherapy is an important new reference featuring comprehensive data on external beam radiotherapy; brachytherapy sources; and special procedures such as total body irradiation (TBI), total body electron therapy (TBE), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT). External beam data includes depth doses for photon and electron beams of most widely used treatment machines, and the book’s brachytherapy section contains the physical and radiation parameters of commonly used radioactive sources. Handbook of Dosimetry Data for Radio

This book provides an in-depth introduction to radiotherapy physics. The emphasis in much of the work is on the clinical aspects of the field. Uniquely useful for both the physicist and non-physicist, Clinical Radiotherapy Physics gradually and sequentially develops each of its topics in clear, concise language. It includes important mathematical analyses, yet is written so that these sections can be skipped, if desired, without compromising understanding. The book consists of two parts: the first part covers basic physics and principles of radiation dosiometry. The second part is devoted

This volume is the first comprehensive and practical clinical reference on proton and charged particle radiotherapy. The first half of the book explains the treatment delivery systems used, offers detailed guidance on treatment planning techniques, examines key clinical issues in proton radiotherapy, and reviews recent experience with heavier charged particle radiotherapy. The second half of the book offers "how-to" information on treatment of pediatric tumors, lymphomas, and tumors of the central nervous system, eye, skull base, cervical spine, bone and soft tissue, paranasal sinus, nasal cav

Targeted radiotherapy relies on and exploits characteristics of cancer cells to attack tumors. Monoclonal Antibody and Peptide-Targeted Radiotherapy of Cancer helps readers understand this hot pharmaceutical field with up-to-date developments. Expert discussion covers a range of diverse topics associated with this field, including the optimization of design of biomolecules and radiochemistry, cell and animal models for preclinical evaluation, discoveries from key clinical trials, radiation biology and dosimetry, and considerations in regulatory approval. With chapters authored by international
