Demos Medical Publishing, a publisher serving medical professionals in oncology, has announced the release of the second edition of Brachytherapy: Applications and Techniques, the book widely acknowledged as the essential book on the practice since its original 2006 release.
Edited by Philip M. Devlin, MD, FACR, Chief of Brachytherapy at the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center in Boston, MA and a leading world authority on brachytherapy, the second edition has been thoroughly revised to cover the newest techniques and treatments for this important modality in cancer treatment, and now includes free access to a downloadable e-book version. Clinical vignettes at the end of each chapter, with accompanying images, demonstrate the real-world, practical applications of brachytherapy for treatment of tumors in sites throughout the body.
Brachytherapy, Second Edition thoroughly covers every application of this crucial therapy, with fifteen chapters focusing on topics including prostate cancer, gynecologic brachytherapy, skin brachytherapy, pediatric brachytherapy, and the challenges of running a brachytherapy practice.
Over 300 images now accompany the chapter text and clinical vignettes. Essential tables and spreadsheets enhance the chapter on running a brachytherapy practice. Ten years of technological advancements are assimilated and reviewed in each site-specific chapter. The chapter on prostate brachytherapy has been expanded to include other indications in the genitourinary system. Two entirely new chapters—one chronicling the history of brachytherapy and the other detailing the emergence of skin brachytherapy – have been included. Additionally, the latest edition includes access to the fully-searchable downloadable ebook.
