Walter and Miller's Textbook of Radiotherapy is a vital resource for therapeutic radiography students, trainee clinical and medical oncologists, clinical physicists, and technologists. Divided into two sections, the first section covers physics and provides a comprehensive review of radiotherapy physics, designed to be accessible to non-physicists. The second section offers a systematic review by tumor site, providing an up-to-date summary of radiotherapy practice. The title also encompasses the role of chemotherapy, surgery, and non-radiotherapy treatments, as well as the principles of cancer patient treatment, including supportive care and palliative therapies. This comprehensive textbook is a must-have for anyone studying therapeutic radiotherapy.
Fully illustrated in vibrant full color, featuring 350 photographs, it offers a clear and concise explanation of the fundamental physics relevant to clinicians. Organized by tumor site, it provides a user-friendly guide to radiotherapy practice, making it easy to navigate. It delves into the wide range of devices used in radiotherapy, explaining their principles of operation in detail. The book also comprehensively explains the calculation models used for dose predictions in treatment preparation.
A significant emphasis is placed on how clinical trials have shaped current practice, highlighting the impact of evidence-based medicine on radiotherapy treatment. It explores the influence of radiobiological knowledge on treatment regimens, such as the fractionation schedules for breast and prostate cancer. Proton therapy, machines, dose measurement, and the clinical advantages and pitfalls of this treatment modality are also extensively covered.
New radiotherapy modalities, such as stereotactic radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and image-guided radiotherapy, are comprehensively discussed, reflecting the evolving field of radiotherapy.
In summary, Walter and Miller's Textbook of Radiotherapy is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to excel in therapeutic radiography, clinical oncology, or medical physics. Its comprehensive coverage, accessible language, and rich illustrations make it an invaluable tool for understanding the fundamental principles and latest advancements in radiotherapy.
