Recenzje

"This book primarily focuses on clinical outcome and management as opposed to radiation therapy treatment technique and planning. ... Radiation therapy educators also might benefit from this book by using passages from it in their course material." (Brandon C Weiss, Radiation Therapist, Vol. 26 (1), 2017)

"This is a broad overview of the use of radiation therapy for the treatment of pelvic malignancies with a focus on complications and their management. ... This is a valuable resource for students, residents, and practicing physicians. ... This book provides a high quality overview of pelvic complications related to radiation therapy. Even experts in treatment of pelvic malignancies will gain greater knowledge of this topic from this book." (Mark D. Hurwitz, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2015)
