Molecular Radio-Oncology

Molecular Radio-Oncology (Recent Results in Cancer Research Book 198) by Michael Baumann (Editor), Mechthild Krause (Editor), Nils Cordes (Editor)

This book concisely reviews our current understanding of hypoxia, molecular targeting, DNA repair, cancer stem cells, and tumor pathophysiology, while also discussing novel strategies for putting these findings into practice in daily clinical routine.

Radiotherapy is an important part of modern multimodal cancer treatment, and the past several years have witnessed not only substantial improvements in radiation techniques and the use of new beam qualities, but also major strides in our understanding of molecular tumor biology and tumor radiation response.
