Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Prostate Cancer
«“This is a highly focused, thorough review of the current status of SBRT in the treatment of prostate cancer. It details key factors that need to be considered to achieve optimal outcomes. Of note, several of these factors, such as optimizing target definition and minimizing organ motion, are pertinent for a broader range of prostate cancer patients and, as such, will appeal to readers seeking a better broad understanding of these topics.” (Mark D. Hurwitz, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2019)»
This book offers a comprehensive evaluation of the use of stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT) for the treatment of prostate cancer. The rationale, selection criteria, and treatment planning for prostate SBRT are explained. Les mer
Stereotactic radiosurgery for prostate cancer is an increasingly used form of treatment. Retrospective investigations have demonstrated the safe application of high-dose treatments, with 5-year results comparable to those achieved with protracted external beam radiotherapy. Prospective studies are underway comparing SBRT with more traditional forms of image-guided and intensity-modulated radiotherapy. In offering in-depth guidance on safe delivery of prostate SBRT, this book will be of value for students of radiation oncology, more experienced practitioners, and medical physicists.
