2018 Radiotherapy and Clinical Radiobiology of Head and Neck Cancer (PDF)

Description

Common factors that lead to treatment failure in head and neck cancer are the lack of tumour oxygenation, the accelerated division of cancer cells during treatment, and radioresistance. These tumour-related challenges and possible ways to overcome them are covered in this book, authored by three medical physicists and a clinical oncologist who explain how different radioresistancefindings have led to the development of various treatment techniques for head and neck cancer.
