Gynecologic Radiation Therapy Novel Approaches to Image-Guidance and Management
Gynecologic Radiation Therapy Novel Approaches to Image-Guidance and Management - London | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg | 2011 - 318 Pages Includes Index
Recent advances in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies led to a new worldwide consensus to introduce image guidance to gynecologic radiation therapy, particularly to brachytherapy. The book summarizes the changed practice of management: treatment planning for cervical cancer, not modified for over 60 years, has been shifted to an image-based approach, endometrial cancer management with an increase in the use of chemotherapy and vaginal brachytherapy, and vaginal cancer therapy including image guidance and high-dose delivery with IMRT.
