\u003cp\u003eWalter and Millerâs Textbook of Radiotherapy is a key textbook for therapeutic radiography students as well as trainee clinical and medical oncologists, clinical physicists and technologists. The book is divided into 2 sections. The first section covers physics and provides a comprehensive review of radiotherapy physics. This section is designed to be non-physicist friendly, to simply and clearly explain the physical principles upon which radiotherapy and its technology are based. The second section is a systematic review by tumour site giving an up to date summary of radiotherapy practice. The title also covers the place of chemotherapy, surgery and non-radiotherapy treatments as well as the principles of cancer patient treatment including supportive care and palliative treatments. It is a comprehensive must-have resource for anyone studying therapeutic radiotherapy.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighly illustrated in full colour including 350 photographs.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClearly and simply explains the fundamental physics for clinicians\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGives an up to date summary of radiotherapy practice organised by tumour site making it very easy to navigate.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes the wide range of devices and clearly explains the principles behind their operation.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensively explains the calculation models of dose predictions for treatment preparation.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavy emphasis on how clinical trials have influenced current practice.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows how radiobiological knowledge has influenced current practice such as the fractionation regimens for breast and prostate cancer\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProton therapy; machines, dose measurement, covering the clinical advantages and pitfalls of this treatment modality.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew radiotherapy modalities such as stereotactic radiotherapy, types of intensity modulated radiotherapy and imaged guided radiotherapy are comprehensively covered as are recent advances in chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn depth coverage of dose measurement and new devices.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e
