Zusammenfassung:"This edition includes new chapters and updates of prior chapters designed to keep pace with the many exciting innovations in radiation oncology. It is our hope that this edition will bring readers from yesterday's standard of care to today's state of the art and provide a peek over the horizon at the dawn of a new era in which the science and the art of radiation oncology come together as never before. The science includes new understanding of the potential lurking within discoveries in physics, biology and technology. The art is the integrated clinical application of those discoveries, in concert with advances in systemic therapies. For example, there is a new chapter on the treatment planning implications of combined immunotherapy and radiation. This and other chapters hold clues that may lead us beyond local control of an individual tumor to a future in which a systemic response may be ignited by the application of modern radiation techniques and systemic therapies in proper sequence and intensity. In addition, there is a re-focus on the patient, beginning with a new chapter on treatment planning and patient safety"--
