商品簡介
Not a primer, this book takes on challenging cases in radiation oncology and provides examples of practical management. When evidence-based medicine is not enough and an individualized approach is needed, medicine goes from science to art. The authors address what constitutes evidence and how much is necessary to bolster decision-making. Written for clinicians, fellows, and residents, the book is organized into seven sections: breast, gastrointestinal, gynecology, genitourinary, head and neck, thorax, and central nervous system. Three cases are examined in each chapter from the perspective of a resident, an academic physician, and a community-based physician. The information is presented in a clear and concise manner. There are references at the end of each chapter, and interspersed throughout the text are figures in color and black and white, as well as tables.
