This new edition provides an overview of the biological, technical, organizational and clinical challenges facing radiation oncology. It also takes stock of new developments and innovative prospects in the field.
The fruit of collaboration between some twenty authors coordinated by Éric Lartigau, the book is aimed at all specialists involved in the care and treatment of patients in radiation oncology departments.
All the technical and clinical procedures involved in radiotherapy - quality control, quality of dosimetric planning, radiotherapy-radiobiology partnerships, etc. - are highly complex, and require complete knowledge and mastery on the part of professionals in order to offer the most optimal treatment to the patient.
Advances in imaging technologies, the contribution of recent innovations in biology, the growing role of artificial intelligence and the consideration of human factors in healthcare are just some of the developments that make this 2nd edition a flagship work in the collection, and an indispensable tool to help practitioners grasp all the issues at stake in the specialty.
