Features
Builds on success and reputation of previous editions
Draws on the considerable teaching experience of an international author team, most notably the US and European Editors
The gold-standard European text for training, adopted by ESTRO as a course book, as a text for the Royal College of Radiologists' radiobiology exam and by courses in the US
Highly illustrated with new, 2 colour illustrations
Clear and concise style, appropriate for trainees and also practising radiation oncologists requiring a ready reference to the subject
Includes new chapters on stem cells, tissue response and the meeting point of meeting point of radiotherapy, radiobiology and physics
Summary
Basic Clinical Radiobiology is a concise but comprehensive textbook setting out the essentials of the science and clinical application of radiobiology for those seeking accreditation in radiation oncology, clinical radiation physics, and radiation technology.
Fully revised and updated to keep abreast of current developments in radiation biology and radiation oncology, this fifth edition continues to present in an interesting way the biological basis of radiation therapy, discussing the basic principles and significant developments that underlie the latest attempts to improve the radiotherapeutic management of cancer.
This new edition is highly illustrated with attractive 2-colour presentation and now includes new chapters on stem cells, tissue response and the convergence of radiotherapy, radiobiology, and physics. It will be invaluable for FRCR (clinical oncology) and equivalent candidates, SpRs (and equivalent) in radiation oncology, practicing radiation oncologists and radiotherapists, as well as radiobiologists and radiotherapy physicists.
