About the Book

This practical guide, now in a revised and updated second edition with more clinical cases for different stages, is designed as a concise reference on the delineation of target volumes in radiation oncology. Clear guidance is provided on simulation, setup, and field design for all of the malignancies commonly encountered by practicing radiation oncologists, and slice-by-slice examples are provided for different clinical stages and scenarios. The new edition of this book fully covers modern radiotherapy field design, with inclusion of guidelines on immobilization and simulation for 3D-conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and stereotactic body radiation therapy.
