Concise and practical:
A concise and practical book for practicing radiation oncologists. Covers the salient points from the main Perez textbook. A short basic introduction to each site with anatomy,clinical symptoms, diagnostic work up, staging and treatment options. The radiation planning techniques are well outlined and practical. A must have for daily clinical practice - however not a replacement for the main Perez.
Concise, useful summary of the Perez textbook:
An excellent concise abstraction of the larger textbook "Principles and Practice of Radiation Oncology". The same scope of content is present, the salient facts are presented in point form with the most important references at the end of each chapter. Abundant diagrams and photographs supplement the text. An excellent companion to Principles and Practice of Radiation Oncology and particularly useful for senior residents and practicing radiation oncologists.
