DESCRIPTION:
The text reviews 3D conformal radiotherapy and looks at the role of protons, neutrons, ultrasound and MRI guided prostate brachytherapy in the management of localised disease, and the value of hormonal and other novel therapies in the treatment of locally advanced disease. Both technical and clinical aspects of external and internal radiation therapy for all stages of prostate cancer are considered. Outcome prediction following treatment is also discussed.This comprehensive text, edited by acknowledged international experts, will be an invaluable addition to the bookshelves of any radiotherapy department.. Adenocarcinoma of the prostate has become the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men over the age of 50. This timely book outlines prostate cancer staging and focuses on the latest treatments in radiotherapy, including the development of new techniques which allow the radiation oncologist to target the tumour more precisely while simultaneously minimizing the radiation reaching normal juxtaposed tissues such as the rectum and urethra

The group at Harvard should do a terrific job on this.Howard Silberman, Professor of Sur
