Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer Innovative Techniques and Current Controversies /

Radiation treatment is rapidly evolving owing to the coordinated research of physicists, engineers, computer and imaging specialists, and physicians. Today, the arsenal of "high-precision" or "targeted" radiotherapy includes multimodal imaging, in vivo dosimetry, Monte Carlo tech...
