This volume presents a new approach to the role of radiation therapy in the management of ophthalmic cancer. The indications for ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies are analyzed, and treatment techniques, together with their results, are described for each tumour. Particle beam and plaque irradiation are reviewed, and conservative and surgical management of radiation effects are detailed. However, great progress in understanding the effects of irradiation upon the tissues of the eye and orbit, new therapeutic equipment and new imaging techniques (CT, MRI) allow for careful treatment planning.

Review
From the reviews of the second edition:
"Ocular and orbital tumours remain a large challenge to ophthalmic and clinical oncologists, having unique features in their management, which contrast with tumours in other sites. This second edition of Sagerman and Alberti’s book is welcome. … All in all this book is essential for the libraries of departments treating ocular or orbital tumours and I recommend it … . this is a high quality reference tome with excellent illustrations and well-referenced." (Dr. P N Plowman, Eye News, Vol. 11 (1), 2004)
"Sagerman and Alberti present the second edition on radiotherapy of intraocular and orbital tumors. … the book is especially dedicated to the medical community involved in the treatment of ocular tumors, with a special focus on radiotherapy. … the editors have succeeded in providing significantly improved information and updates in the treatment modalities of the therapy." (T.J. Vogl, European Radiology, Vol. 13 (6), 2003)
"This book aims to provide a comprehensive reference text, addressing all aspects of the treatment of orbital and intraocular tumours by radiation therapy with reviews provided by a panel of American and European experts. The nearly 300 pages of text are complemented by 286 separate easily interpreted illustrations and 49 tables. Chapters are well laid out and organised in a clear and logical manner. … Overall, this is an easily accessible and comprehensive reference textbook … ." (Dr. Joe O’Sullivan, RAD Magazine, April, 2003)

A very good book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Radiotherapy of Intraocular and Orbital Tumors (Medical Radiology / Radiation Oncology) (Hardcover)
Most would probably find this book boring. I rather liked it. It is a good mixture of basic radiation physics mixed with discussions of treatment modalities for a variety of tumors. The author list is impressive with all the top people in ocular oncology (many european) writing the various chapters. And of course, as it is with most oncology texts, you don't REALLLLY find out the authors' treatment protocols and decision tree, but this book contains more detail than many others. There also chapters on diagnostic testing, imaging, and other things. The books introduction is actually one of the best I have read and I found Dr. Finger's chapter on plaque radiotherapy to be one of the better book chapters on that subject. I highly recommend this book.
