A Kid's Review

This review is from: Clinical Radiation Oncology: Indications, Techniques, and Results (Hardcover)

A very concise and practical textbook. Unlike other new textbooks which are much bigger and heavier and with excessive data, you can actually finish reading a chapter in this book in an hour with a good understanding of the disease. Each chapter is written by a well-known expert of the field, and not by residents or some unknown people.
