Sinopsis

A comprehensive and authoritative treatise, this book covers the scientific principles of brachytherapy by remote afterloading, and its applications in clinical practice. The former are covered in two sections - radiobiology and physics - while the third section is devoted to the clinical application of the technique in relation to specific tumour sites. The design and provision of a brachytherapy service, quality assurance and cost implications are also discussed.

...excellently written and edited. It covers all current aspects of afterloading brachytherapy and would complement clinical training, whether it is for the oncologist, physicist or radiographer. The breadth and scope packed into 450 pages of this book results in a focused and succinct book, which provides an excellent taining book and should be an essential reference book for every brachytherapy department.
