Radiothérapie oncologique (2e édition)

Through a concrete and practical approach, this new edition addresses in detail the challenges and innovations in radiation oncology.

Organized into three main sections—concepts, techniques, and clinical applications—the book covers the latest developments in radiobiology, imaging, dosimetry, and safety, and highlights the most promising techniques, such as stereotactic therapy for lung and liver cancer, proton therapy for pediatric cancers, and flash therapy. Clinical applications, such as new protocols for breast cancer and MRI-guided treatments, illustrate the major advances made in the discipline. The same is true for the combination of immunotherapy and radiotherapy, which is opening up new therapeutic prospects. The various chapters pay particular attention to the concepts of risk management—for caregivers and patients—safety, and the continuous improvement of information for patients and caregivers with the aim of optimizing care pathways.

The result of collaboration between experts, more than 40 authors share their research and clinical findings, richly illustrated and documented. This book is an indispensable tool for oncologists, radiation therapists, and all healthcare professionals who wish to deepen their knowledge and master the latest innovations in order to offer patients the most appropriate treatment.
