Summary
This new edition, which like its predecessor is based on sound anatomical and pathological principles, has been expanded to give a broader account of internationally applicable techniques, and updated to include the latest developments in radiotherapy including brachytherapy. As with the first edition, each chapter of the book is dedicated to a specific tumour site with descriptions of assessment, planning and treatment procedures.
