“This timely textbook addresses modern developments in radiation therapy technology including image guidance and advances in molecular prognostic and predictive factors in the field of neurological radiation oncology. … The book is well-organized by disease sites—brain, skull base, and spine—which include both benign and malignant tumors. … This book has many strengths, including well-designed descriptive figures, thorough discussion of management strategies and useful self-assessment questions.” (Tony J. C.Wang, Neurosurgery, Vol. 84 (5), May, 2019)
