Clinical aspects of radiation oncology have been illuminated in this book in a sophisticated and comprehensive way. The development of double strand breaks of DNA is supposed to be given by radiation's technique of operation. Double strand breaks get mended by non-homologous end joining due to the acetylation of histone proteins by histone acetyltransferases (HATs). This repair can prove to be of beneficial function for radiation sensitization in clinical practice. The transcription and translation of a set of genes is being restrained by a tumor suppressor gene i.e. P53; and its...

This book presents the state of the art information regarding the current practices in radiation therapy. Cancer is presently the primary reason of death in economically developed parts of the globe and the second leading reason of death in developing countries. It is a significant global health problem, growing at an alarming rate. Global statistics display that in 2030 alone, around 21.4 million novel cancer cases and 13.2 million cancer deaths are estimated to occur, basically because of the growth, adoption of novel lifestyles and behaviors, and aging of the population. Amongst the...
