This book addresses the most relevant aspects of radiation oncology in terms of technical integrity, dose parameters, machine and software specifications, as well as regulatory requirements. Radiation oncology is a unique field that combines physics and biology. As a result, it has not only a clinical aspect, but also a physics aspect and biology aspect, all three of which are inter-related and critical to optimal radiation treatment planning.
In addition, radiation oncology involves a host of machines/software. One needs to have a firm command of these machines and their specifications to deliver comprehensive treatment. However, this information is not readily available, which poses serious challenges for students learning the planning aspect of radiation therapy. In response, this book compiles these relevant aspects in a single source.
Radiation oncology is a dynamic field, and is continuously evolving. However, tracking down the latest findings is both difficultand time-consuming. Consequently, the book also comprehensively covers the most important trials. Offering an essential ready reference work, it represents a value asset for all radiation oncology practitioners, trainees and students.

The book covers all the practical aspects of pediatric radiation oncology. It explains basic principles of pediatric radiation oncology, indications of radiation in various diseases, radiation dose and target volumes in brachytherapy and in external body radiation therapy, side effects of radiation therapy, and follow up protocol in an evidence based manner. It also briefly discusses other treatment modalities, including surgery and chemotherapy.
The book also covers historical aspect of radiation therapy. It elaborates on how modern radiotherapy techniques have helped in reducing the side effects of the radiation (a major concern that leads to radiation defer in children) as compared to the previous years without compromising outcomes. It highlights various issues that makes pediatric radiation oncology more complex as compared to adult radiation therapy. It discusses some newer techniques of radiotherapy and particle therapy.
The book will help radiotherapy/radiation oncology students and faculty, pediatric oncology students and oncologists to understand and practice pediatric radiation oncology in a better and evidence based manner.
