It is also the first truly comprehensive and complete textbook of brachytherapy. The chapters on the physics of brachytherapy and the technical planning of internal and surface radiotherapy are designed to enhance the practitioner’s knowledge base and capabilities in this demanding specialty field. Disease site-specific chapters cover a wide range of applications, including ocular tumors, soft tissue sarcomas, cancers of the head and neck, skin, breast, lung, esophagus, and prostate, and gynecologic and anorectal malignancies. Each chapter incorporates the American and European guidelines and the text has been written from both perspectives by many of the most noted global experts in the field. A concluding chapter is devoted to brachytherapy quality assurance.Radiation OncologyRadiotherapyOncology  Radiotherapyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29056Oncologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33160Radiotherapy.Oncology  .Radiotherapy.Oncology.615.8424Montemaggi Paoloedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTrombetta Markedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBrady Luther Wedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254269303321Brachytherapy1736089UNINA
