Image-guided radiotherapy of lung cancer [electronic resource] / edited by James D. Cox, Joe Y. Chang, Ritsuko Komaki.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but IGRT (image guided radiation therapy) offers the possibility of more aggressive and enhanced treatments. The only available source on the subject that emphasizes new imaging techniques, and provides step-by-step treatment gui...
