| Reviews 'In the Karger's series on the Frontiers of Radiation Therapy and Oncology, the most recent addition of "IMRT-IGRT-SBRT", edited by Dr. John L Meyer is a very significant publication. It addresses the most important topics and breakthroughs in radiotherapy of this decade. The volume contains very up-to-date material written by authorities of our field which will serve as essential reference for both physicians and scientists.' C. Clifton Ling, Ph.D. Chief, Dept. of Medicla Physics Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY 'The book is an outstanding summary of modern radiotherapy technologies and applications. The authors demonstrate the maturation of IMRT in clinical practice and the ability to control geometric uncertainties confidently with IGRT. The emergence of "stereotactic thinking" for the body (SBRT) is an exciting example of the convergence of conformal treatment and image-based target localization, and the promising treatment strategies it creates. This highly readable and richly illustrated book is a valuable resource for professionals interested in the rapidly advancing frontiers of modern radiation therapy.' Michael B. Sharpe, Ph.D. Associate Head of Physics, Radiation Medicine Program UHN - Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto |
