“As a cancer survivor and an academic physicist, the author clearly expresses his interest in helping other cancer patients by providing useful information, such as that regarding hadron therapy, for alleviating their suffering and pain. Students, residents, and even radiation oncologists, physicists, therapists, and engineers working in radiation therapy may find some of the material interesting and refreshing from this unique perspective.” (Chang Ming Charlie Ma, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2016)
