Radiation Oncology: A Case-Based Review provides residents, fellows, and practicing radiation oncologists with an evidence-based guide to the current management of cases in major tumor sites to appropriately decide, delineate, and prescribe tumor volumes/fields for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) including volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).
