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. 410 0$aRadiation Oncology,$x2731-4723 606 $aRadiology 606 $aOncology 606 $aRadiology 606 $aOncology 615 0$aRadiology. 615 0$aOncology. 615 14$aRadiology. 615 24$aOncology. 676 $a615.8424 702 $aMontemaggi$b Paolo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTrombetta$b Mark$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBrady$b Luther W$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254269303321 996 $aBrachytherapy$91736089 997 $aUNINA
