Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as an important
innovative treatment for various primary and metastatic cancers. This
book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the
physical/technological, biological, and clinical aspects of SBRT. It
will serve as a detailed resource for this rapidly developing treatment
modality. The organ sites covered include lung, liver, spine, pancreas,
prostate, adrenal, head and neck, and female reproductive tract.
Retrospective studies and prospective clinical trials on SBRT for
various organ sites from around the world are examined, and toxicities
and normal tissue constraints are discussed. This book features unique
insights from world-renowned experts in SBRT from North America, Asia,
and Europe. It will be necessary reading for radiation oncologists,
radiation oncology residents and fellows, medical physicists, medical
physics residents, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, and cancer
scientists.
