About this book
Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is being rapidly introduced into the clinical management of early breast cancer. APBI, in fact, encompasses a number of different techniques and approaches that include brachytherapy, intraoperative, and external beam techniques. There is currently no single source that describes these techniques and their clinical implementation. This text will be a concise handbook designed to assist the clinician in the implementation of APBI. This will include a review of the principles that underlie APBI, a practical and detailed description of each technique for APBI, a review of current clinical results of APBI, and a review of the incidence and management of treatment related complications.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book attempts to explain the rationale for APBI and to describe the available techniques and their clinical implementation. The editors attempt to provide a concise handbook designed to assist the clinician in the implementation of APBI. … The APBI techniques are reviewed and described by experts in the field using excellent photographs and illustrations. … I believe this will be a very useful reference text both for surgical and non-surgical oncologists with an interest in breast cancer." (Dr. Joe O’Sullivan, RAD Magazine, June, 2007)
