Rezensionen

"This book has a singular focus on the concept of alternate fractionation for radiation therapy. ... The book will be of significant interest to radiation oncologists, particularly those treating a wide variety of tumors for which the number of alternate fractionation regimens has grown at a rapid pace in recent years. Students of radiobiology and physics and radiation oncology residents will also find the book of interest. The authors and contributors are credible authorities in their fields." (Mark D. Hurwitz, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2019)
