Preface to the 2nd Edition
The first edition of Handbook of Evidence-Based Radiation Oncology was extremely successful and well received by the worldwide oncology community. In the second edition, we have kept the same concise format in order to remain a practical quick reference guide. Yet we have also added new content and features based on the valuable feedback from readers. All chapters have been revised and include the latest key studies and radiotherapy techniques.
