Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
"The purpose of this book is to provide a guide for radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, oncology nurses, radiation therapists, and others ... . Overall, I believe this book is a useful addition to the literature on radiation injury. Its major strength is that it succeeds in providing a practical guide to the management of many radiation-induced normal tissue complications. Importantly, it also encourages clinicians to keep these issues in mind when designing radiation treatment strategies." (Mitchell S. Anscher, International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics, Vol. 70 (5), 2008)
