Autorenporträt

Professor Michael Zelefsky is a recognized international authority in the treatment of prostate cancer with radiotherapy. He is currently Vice Chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology and Chief of the Brachytherapy Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He also serves as a leader of the Genito-urinary Disease Management Team at Memorial Sloan Kettering and has been instrumental in the development of novel radiation techniques that have been adopted worldwide, including IMRT, IGRT, and intraoperative adaptive brachytherapy treatment planning. Professor Zelefsky has published more than 300 publications as well as chapters and textbooks. He is currently exploring approaches using targeted biologic agents concurrently with hypofractionated stereotactic radiosurgery for high-risk disease as well as the implementation of novel brachytherapy techniques to improve the precision of brachytherapy in the treatment of prostate cancers.  Dr. Zelefsky is the Editor inChief of Brachytherapy, the premier journal in the world for articles devoted to the use of brachytherapy in the treatment of cancer.

Rezensionen

"This is a highly focused, thorough review of the current status of SBRT in the treatment of prostate cancer. It details key factors that need to be considered to achieve optimal outcomes. Of note, several of these factors, such as optimizing target definition and minimizing organ motion, are pertinent for a broader range of prostate cancer patients and, as such, will appeal to readers seeking a better broad understanding of these topics."
