About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is a timely book summarising the development and current status of the use of stereotactic radiosurgery in the management of urological cancers … and so this book is very helpful for all those urologists and oncologists who wish to become involved with stereotactic radiotherapy now or in the future. The book provides a good overview of the subject, which will undoubtedly be useful in the clinic when patients enquire about stereotactic treatment and where it fits into the standard armamentarium of treatment options.” (Rob Hughes, Urology News, January/February, 2013)
“Topics are well presented and discussed in 5 parts … all well written and discussed by radiotherapists, radiologic-oncologists and urologists. … The authors are to be praised for the updated, precise way the different topics are presented and discussed … . This is a very useful, revealing book for all those dealing with prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well for those radiologists who want to be kept abreast of the continuous evolution and improvements in the field of Medicine … .” (Giampiero Beluffi, La radiologia medica, Vol. 118, 2013)
“Lee Ponsky and co-editors, helped by more than 40 worldwide experts, wrote an original textbook dedicated to urological applications of radiosurgery. The first part provided the reader with general information. … An important part of the book was dedicated to hypofractionated radiation therapy and based on radiobiological aspects of the treatment. Undoubtedly, this textbook is intended for radiotherapists and oncologists. … urologists involved in prostate cancer management will find ample amount of information, essential in pluri-disciplinary clinical exchanges.” (Paul Meria, European Urology Today, August/September, 2012)
