Handbook of Treatment Planning in Radiation Oncology

The "Handbook of Treatment Planning in Radiation Oncology" is a focused pocket-sized handbook designed for Radiation Oncology trainees and residents, to serve as an up-to-date, quick resource to lead them through all of the standard steps to plan and deliver radiotherapy for all major malignancies. The "Handbook" provides evidence-based information but also is reflective of the knowledge gained through experience in practice. All chapters represent a joint collaboration between residents and staff radiation oncologists, in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Cleveland Clinic. Throughout the "Handbook," the focus is on a series of steps to follow in order to successfully complete effective radiotherapy planning. Also included are specialized topics such as palliative therapy and pediatrics. After a discussion of general planning requirements, each specific subsite within a given section then provides more specific details on approaches to radiotherapy planning.
