Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but IGRT (image guided radiation therapy) offers the possibility of more aggressive and enhanced treatments. Standing as the only available source on the subject that emphasizes new imaging techniques and provides step-by-step treatment guidelines for lung cancer, this source helps clinicians locate and target tumors with enhanced speed, improve the accuracy of radiation delivery, and correctly target cancerous masses while avoiding surrounding structures.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Any clinician who routinely treats patients with lung cancer has probably had times when they wished they could spend a month at an institution such as the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and see how things are done there. Of course, very few of us have the ability to do that, but this book is the next best thing. It is an excellent resource for any radiation oncologist who has a significant practice of patients with lung cancer. -International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics, 2008
