As a companion book to the \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Treatment Planning in Radiation Oncology\u003c\/i\u003e Second Edition, this book focuses on the technical aspects of treatment planning and the major challenges in creating highly conformal dose distributions, referenced to as treatment plans, for external beam radiotherapy. To overcome challenges associated with each step, leading experts at the Cleveland Clinic have consolidated their knowledge and experience of treatment planning techniques, potential pitfalls, and other difficulties to develop quality plans across the gamut of clinical scenarios in radiation therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with an overview of external beam treatment planning principles, inverse planning and advanced planning tools, and descriptions of all components in simulation and verification. Following these introductory chapters are disease-site examples, including central nervous system, head and neck, breast, thoracic, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, gynecologic, lymphoma, and soft tissue sarcoma. The book concludes with expert guidance on planning for pediatric cancers and how to tailor palliative plans. Essential for all radiation therapy team members, including trainees, this book is for those who wish to learn or improve their treatment planning skills and understand the different treatment planning processes, plan evaluation, and patient setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKEY FEATURES: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides basic principles of treatment planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains step-by-step, illustrated descriptions of the treatment planning process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the pros and cons of advanced treatment planning tools, such as auto-planning, knowledge-based planning, and multi-criteria based planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes each primary treatment site from simulation, patient immobilization, and creation of various treatment plans to plan evaluations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes instructive sample plans to highlight best practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with access to the fully downloadable eBook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ping Xia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Demos Medical Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826122445","brand":"Demos Medical Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45175681056905,"sku":"9780826122445","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e8873ade-c860-4991-8636-fb31f9f7e70b.jpg?v=1768891907","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/strategies-for-radiation-therapy-treatment-planning-9780826122445","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
