Radiology in the Management of Cancer - Hardcover

This book aims to improve the understanding of the role radiology has to play in the management of cancer. It is not a standard textbook illustrating the radiological appearances of cancer and only limited space is given to the role of radiology in the initial diagnosis. The main thrust of the text relates to the integration and limitations of available imaging modalities in staging patients and assessing the response to treatment or the complications of therapy. In addition to the chapters on tumours at specific sites there are chapters dealing with radioisotope and magnetic resonance imaging and one on the use of radiology in radiotherapy treatment planning. Whilst primarily intended for radiologists and oncologists the text should also be of value to all clinicians who treat patients suffering from cancer.
