Radiation Therapy: Histology-Specific Metastasis, molecular mechanism and interventional therapy, Dose Fractionation, External Beam Radiation Therapy and Radio-Resistant Tumors

Radiation Therapy: Histology-Specific Metastasis, Molecular Mechanism and Interventional Therapy, Dose Fractionation, External Beam Radiation Therapy and Radio-Resistant Tumors delves into the multifaceted landscape of radiation oncology, focusing on tailored approaches to combatting cancer metastasis and radioresistant tumors. This comprehensive volume begins by outlining the fundamental principles of radiation therapy across various histologies and primary cancer sites, including lung cancer, colon cancer, and metastasis to the liver. Central to the discussion are molecular insights into cancer progression and therapeutic interventions aimed at enhancing treatment efficacy. The book explores advanced techniques such as Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and the use of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SAR) for precise targeting of tumors, particularly those resistant to conventional treatments. Real-world case examples illustrate the application of these therapies in clinical settings, emphasizing their role in improving patient outcomes and quality of life. By integrating theoretical foundations with practical considerations, this book serves as a vital resource for oncologists, radiation therapists, and researchers navigating the complexities of modern radiation oncology.
