Description
The book presents the principles of radiotherapy in a clear and practical form – how and why radiation therapy works in oncology. The author explains the modern techniques used in radiotherapy and when and why to use specific procedures. The reader will find explanations of basic terms encountered in the medical documentation of oncology patients – stereotactic radiotherapy, conformal radiotherapy, image-guided radiotherapy, brachytherapy, and more. Separate chapters are dedicated to the indication of radiotherapy for individual diagnoses and its outcomes, as well as the process of planning radiation treatment. A very important chapter discusses patient follow-up after treatment in the general practitioner's office, describing possible side effects and their management.
The book is intended for all doctors involved in the care of patients with cancer or who refer patients for radiation treatment – clinical oncologists, internists, urologists, gynecologists, ENT doctors, and also general practitioners.
