Radiation Therapy for Gastrointestinal Cancers

“This book is an excellent reference for radiation treatment planning. The technical details for each tumor site are more comprehensively reviewed than in a typical textbook of general radiation oncology. For any practicing radiation oncologist who regularly treats patients with GI cancers, particularly upper GI tract sites, I would consider this a compulsory reference for successful treatment planning. … this book is a very timely and extremely useful reference for radiation treatment planning for GI cancers.” (Jason H. Lee, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2017)
