Description

Walter and Millerâs Textbook of Radiotherapy is a key textbook for therapeutic radiography students as well as trainee clinical and medical oncologists, clinical physicists and technologists.

The book is divided into 2 sections.

The first section covers physics and provides a comprehensive review of radiotherapy physics.

This section is designed to be non-physicist friendly, to simply and clearly explain the physical principles upon which radiotherapy and its technology are based.

The second section is a systematic review by tumour site giving an up to date summary of radiotherapy practice.

The title also covers the place of chemotherapy, surgery and non-radiotherapy treatments as well as the principles of cancer patient treatment including supportive care and palliative treatments.

It is a comprehensive must-have resource for anyone studying therapeutic radiotherapy.

Highly illustrated in full colour including 350 photographs
Clearly and simply explains the fundamental physics for clinicians
Gives an up to date summary of radiotherapy practice organised by tumour site making it very easy to navigate
