Full Description
This updated work is an all-in-one board examination preparation book, arranged in an MCQ examination pattern instead of old-style question and answer format complemented by oral exam questions designed to meet the needs of a wide range of examinees. Radiation Oncology: A MCQ and Case Study-Based Review 2nd edition will meet the need for a practical, up-to-date, bedside-oriented radiation oncology book.
Essential aspects of radiation physics, radiobiology, and clinical radiation oncology are well covered. Tumors at different sites are adressed in a series of individual chapters, and further chapters are devoted to lymphomas and total body irradiation, pediatric tumors and benign diseases. The answer keys provide clear explanations for both the correct answers and incorrect statements.
It will be extremely useful for residents, fellows, and clinicians in the fields of radiation, medical, and surgical oncology, as well as for medical students, physicians, and medical physicists with an interest in clinical oncology.
