“Nearly a thousand pages in length, this handbook provides a detailed yet bulleted review of the practice of clinical radiation oncology. … The intended audience is residents and practicing radiation oncologists. The clinical focus of the book will be of benefit to those seeking to identify and understand best clinical practice in radiation oncology.” (Mark D. Hurwitz, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2018)This textbook provides a concise and well-organized approach to the workup, staging, and treatment of the wide range of cancers and non-malignant conditions treated by radiation oncologists. … This edition of the Handbook of Evidence-Based Radiation Oncology is a welcomed update given its expansive knowledge base and succinct summary of new radiation oncology-related evidence.” (Jim Zhong, Neurosurgery, Vol. 84 (3), March, 2019)
