Product Description

A comprehensive textbook of radiotherapy and related radiation physics and oncology for use by all those concerned with the uses of radiation and cytotoxic drugs in the treatment of patients with malignant disease. Walter & Miller’s Textbook of Radiotherapy has become the core text for therapeutic radiography students and an important introductory text for trainee radiologists and clinical physicists. The book is divided into two parts: the first covers underlying principles of physics, and the second is a systematic review by tumour site concentrating on the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of malignant disease and setting its use in context with chemotherapy and surgery.

The 7th edition continues the tradition of bringing the physics and clinical application of radiation for therapy together at entry level and is completely revised to take into account the huge technological advances in radiotherapy treatment since publication of the previous edition.

New for this edition:

*Imaging is now an essential part of radiotherapy, relevant for both the treatment and preparation of a patient’s treatment. Radionuclide imaging and X-ray imaging have been expanded to MRI and PET, along with some use of ultrasound.

*Treatment planning dose prediction – the basis and application of modern computational calculations are explained for modern treatment delivery systems. The role of the algorithm for dose prediction is central to ensure speedy and accurate calculations for treatment.

*Quality Control

*Quality Systems

The book is supported by Evolve electronic resources: sample plans, additional diagnostic images and clinical photographs.

Product Description
Neoplasms are common in dogs and cats and it has been estimated that 50% of dogs and cats aged over 10 years die of neoplasia. The demand for treatment of pets with cancer is increasing and seems likely to do so for the foreseeable future as more animals become insured and their treatment costs are covered.

The purpose of this book is to provide a basic clinical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of the more common tumours in dogs and cats for the practising veterinary surgeon, undergraduate student and veterinary nurse. It is not intended to be a comprehensive reference book, covering all aspects of veterinary oncology, since several such texts exist. Rather it seeks to provide a core of basic, easily accessible and clinically relevant information on general aspects of veterinary oncology.

The first three chapters present general background information on pathogenesis, tumour biology, managing the cancer patient and the most frequently used methods of treatment. Practical details of chemotherapy and guidance on safety are given, as well as coverage of radiotherapy. The remaining chapters then provide specific information on the epidemiology, aetiology, pathology, presentation, staging, management and prognosis for tumours occurring in the different body systems.

Small Animal Oncology

Product Description
New developments, plus rapid technological innovations have dramatically altered the scope of modern neuroscience. The distinguished authors provide detailed descriptions of clinical and basic neuroscience issues and offer the most innovative new techniques, procedures and approaches as performed in hundreds of clinical cases. The book provides easy-to-follow advice from the clinical and basic neuroscience consultant in neurosurgery, neurology, neuroradiology, and neuropathology, an ideal reference for practicing neurosurgeons, neurologists, and residents-in-training. You will find coverage of aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, brain tumors, and so on, derived from a wide range of etiologies as for neuroscience issues. Refinements in the neurosurgical armamentarium continue to push the borders of neurosurgery forward. Lesions considered inoperable a decade ago can now be resected, especially in the region close to the eloquent area and of skull base.

Product Description
Malignant Lymphomas is a volume in the acclaimed American Cancer Society Atlas of Clinical Oncology series. Dr. Grossbard and his team have summarized current knowledge on the pathology, epidemiology, molecular biology, presentation and management of patients with both non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Hodgkin’s disease. The experts address the disease group by type – indolent B-cell lymphoma, diffuse large cell lymphomas, Burkitt’s/high-grade non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma – as well as the key therapies of chemotherapy, monoclonal antibody, radiation, vaccine, hematopoietic stem cell transplants and more. This text’s multi-author approach is a necessity now that management and classification of lymphoma have grown so complex. Malignant Lymphomas will be a valuable resource in the practice of those seeing patients with the disease, as well as a springboard for the continued inquiry into advances being made into the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of lymphoma.
