From the book reviews: "This is a comprehensive up to date reference on regional radiation surgery for cancers of the head and neck, brain, chest, lung, abdominal, pelvic, gyne., prostate, and peripheral limb mets and primary lesions. ... This is a great book for radiation oncologists, nuclear physicians, neurosurgeons, cancer physicians, and med oncologists.
