This practical guide, now in a revised and updated second edition with more clinical cases for different stages, is designed as a concise reference on the delineation of target volumes in radiation oncology. Clear guidance is provided on simulation, setup, and field design for all of the malignancies commonly encountered by practicing radiation oncologists, and slice-by-slice examples are provided for different clinical stages and scenarios. The new edition of this book fully covers modern radiotherapy field design, with inclusion of guidelines on immobilization and simulation for 3D-conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and stereotactic body radiation therapy. Target Volume Delineation and Field Setup: A Practical Guide for Conformal and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy is written by leading radiation oncologists who provide their expert opinions on all relevant aspects.

 

 

AUTHORS

 

Dr. Nancy Y. Lee is a world-renowned radiation oncologist specialized in head and neck cancer. She has extensive experience in the use of IMRT and proton therapy for head and neck cancer as well as being the lead PI for multiple cooperative trials. She has co-authored close to 300 papers and written numerous book chapters as well as being the editor for two books focused on target delineation of cancer treatment. In the era of precision medicine, proton beam and/or heavy particle therapy can further enhance the therapeutic effects of tumor relative to the surrounding normal tissue. Nancy currently serves as the Vice Chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology, Experimental Therapeutics. She is also the Chief of Head and Neck Radiotherapy at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
