| Description: |
Useful to people who are involved in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, this volume considers both non-small cell and small cell lung cancer in detail. It also explains and evaluates the state-of-the-art treatment strategies and approaches which promise further improvements in the outcome, with the aid of high-quality illustrations. |
| Synopsis: |
Although decades of laboratory and clinical research have led to incremental improvement in treatment outcome, lung cancer remains one of the most deadly diseases. This volume is unique in being devoted solely to the radiation oncology of lung cancer, and will be of great value to all who are involved in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Both non-small cell and small cell lung cancer are considered in detail. Current state-of-the-art treatment strategies and novel approaches that promise further improvements in outcome are explained and evaluated, with the aid of high-quality illustrations. Treatment-related toxicity is discussed, and further individual chapters focus on topics such as quality of life studies, prognostic factors and pitfalls in the design and analysis of clinical trials. |
