This two-volume set of LNCS 12509 and 12510 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Symposium on Visual Computing, ISVC 2020, which was supposed to be held in San Diego, CA, USA in October 2020, took place virtually instead due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 114 full and 4 short papers presented in these volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 175 submissions. The papers are organized into the following topical sections:

Part I: deep learning; segmentation; visualization; video analysis and event recognition; ST: computational bioimaging; applications; biometrics; motion and tracking; computer graphics; virtual reality; and ST: computer vision advances in geo-spatial applications and remote sensing

Part II: object recognition/detection/categorization; 3D reconstruction; medical image analysis; vision for robotics; statistical pattern recognition; posters

This practical guide to the use of radiotherapy for the treatment of sarcomas and skin cancers covers a wide range of disease scenarios, identifying which treatment techniques are applicable in particular clinical circumstances. Among the conditions considered are extremity soft tissue sarcomas, retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas, bone sarcomas, uterine sarcomas, chordomas, pediatric sarcomas, squamous cell carcinomas, basal cell carcinomas, melanomas, Merkel cell carcinomas, and cutaneous lymphomas. Detailed attention is devoted to the issues and considerations of relevance in everyday practice when treating these diseases. The use of multiple radiotherapy techniques and procedures, including IMRT, brachytherapy, radiosurgery, and particle therapy, is fully explained, and the role of radiotherapy in combination with chemotherapy and emerging therapeutics such as immunotherapy and biologic anticancer agents is also addressed. The book will be of high value for practicing radiationoncologists, medical and surgical oncologists, medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, trainees, and other medical professionals.

This book is a practical guide on how best to incorporate advanced radiation therapy techniques into the multimodality treatment of a wide range of gastrointestinal tumors, including esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, hepatobiliary malignancies (primary and metastatic liver tumors, intrahepatic, perihilar, and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas, and gallbladder cancer), pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and carcinoma of the anal canal. Practical considerations when treating patients with external beam radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, particle therapy, and stereotactic body radiation therapy are clearly explained. Detailed attention is devoted to the safety and efficacy of radiotherapy in combination with current and emerging systemic therapies (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and biologic agents), surgery, and ablative therapy, and the advantages and disadvantages of alternative treatment approaches for different tumor types are carefully evaluated. The bookwill benefit radiation oncologists, medical and surgical oncologists, medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, and other oncology professionals.
