- Fully updated with new case examples, safety considerations, and the integration of SBRT with systemic therapy
- Presents evidence-based guidelines for the use of stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiotherapy
- Discusses pearls, treatment indications, recommended imaging, radiosurgical technique, toxicities, and management
This handbook concisely summarizes state-of-the-art information about stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), including the history and development of these modalities, the biologic rationale for these technologies, typical practices, and reported results.
Developed as a companion to
Handbook of Evidence-Based Radiation Oncology, edited by Eric Hansen and Mack Roach, III, it is organized by disease site and presents treatment techniques and recommended imaging; safety and quality assurance; toxicities and management; recommended follow-up; and supporting evidence. Inclusion of evidence-based guidelines is intended to help inform decisions regarding the appropriateness of SRS and SBRT and guide treatment and evaluation.
This new edition is fully updated with the latest literature. A new chapter on dose constraints has also been added, along with additional content on SBRT for oligometastatic disease and prostate, and the integration of SBRT with systemic therapy, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted agents. Case examples are added, as well as additional images to highlight situations described.
Handbook of Evidence-Based Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy, 2e can be easily referenced in the clinic and is a valuable guide for radiation oncology practitioners.
