Practical Paediatric Radiotherapy

By M.E. Taylor, Hodder, Taylor

Practical Paediatric Radiotherapy provides the trainee and practicing radiation oncologist with all they need to know when considering radiotherapy planning and delivery for the paediatric patient. Including all aspects of radiotherapy practice as applied to the treatment of children and adolescents, the book opens with an introduction to the use of radiotherapy in the treatment of childhood cancers. This is followed by a series of therapy-based chapters covering the different techniques that can be used and guidelines on when to use them. The book concludes with a series of disease-specific chapters and the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of each. Coverage of important topics such as late effects, the transition from the paediatric clinic to the care of an adult oncologist and general aspects of the care of the child are also included. Comprehensive, highly accessible, and well-illustrated with both line and half-tone diagrams throughout, Practical Paediatric Radiotherapy will be an essential training aid and an invaluable ready reference for the radiotherapist and paediatric oncologist in daily practice.
