Hypofractionated and Stereotactic Radiation Therapy: A Practical Guide by Orit Kaidar-PersonEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 404 Pages | ISBN : 3319928007 | 22.85 MB
This handbook summarizes the data and techniques for hypofractionation and stereotactic radiation in a clinically-accessible way. Hypofractionated radiation therapy, which consists of larger-dose radiation treatments that are given over a shorter time period compared to conventional radiation fraction sizes, is used to treat a variety of cancers, including prostate, breast, lung, and colorectal. Conventional radiation therapy and hypofractionated radiation therapy have different effectiveness rates for cancer treatment and have different impacts on normal tissues in terms of causing toxicity.
