3.0 out of 5 stars
the established book but not the best, November 15, 2005
This review is from: Principles and Practice of Radiation Oncology (Hardcover)
Perez has a similar place in radiation oncology as Devita does in medical oncology. It is a comprehensive coverage of the whole field and provides a radiotherapists eye-view of the world of cancer.
Its strengths are the comprehensive nature of the work, the reasonably complete treatment details as well as expectations for outcome and toxicity. Its weaknesses are the sometimes limited coverage given to other treatment modalities, the disappointing lack of discussion on late toxicity, and the dreadfully boring prose.
For the oncologist interested in a more readable but still solid coverage of the field I would recommend Cox (the broad brush strokes) or Liebel (the nitty gritty too) over this book.
