Trama

The book covers all the practical aspects of pediatric radiation oncology. It explains basic principles of pediatric radiation oncology, indications of radiation in various diseases, radiation dose and target volumes in brachytherapy and in external body radiation therapy, side effects of radiation therapy, and follow up protocol in an evidence based manner. It also briefly discusses other treatment modalities, including surgery and chemotherapy.

The book also covers historical aspect of radiation therapy. It elaborates on how modern radiotherapy techniques have helped in reducing the side effects of the radiation (a major concern that leads to radiation defer in children) as compared to the previous years without compromising outcomes. It highlights various issues that makes pediatric radiation oncology more complex as compared to adult radiation therapy. It discusses some newer techniques of radiotherapy and particle therapy.

The book will help radiotherapy/radiation oncology students and faculty, pediatric oncology students and oncologists to understand and practice pediatric radiation oncology in a better and evidence based manner.
