The book offers a comprehensive update on bone tumors and tumor like conditions including clinical, pathological and radiological features. It provides a comprehensive coverage of the topic including molecular biology and provides the readers a solid foundation of knowledge for tumor recognition and evaluation. The book includes chapters on synovial and odontogenic tumors as well. Chapters are uniformly designed and provide systematic approach to various tumors and tumor-like lesions of bone. They are divided according to the predominant cell of origin or the predominant matrix produced, such as osteoid producing lesions, chondroid tumors or giant cell rich tumors, thus assisting the reader, as to how to approach such lesions. Chapters include ample radiology and microscopy images and tables for quick reference. The book is an ideal resource and offers assistance to practicing pathologists, radiologists, clinical oncologists, orthopedicians as well as residents and interns in pathology, radiology, oncology and orthopedics in understanding the approach to bone tumors in a systematic way. The book emphasizes on the need for a multidisciplinary approach for the diagnosis of bone tumors.

This book brings together the expertise of nationally renowned radiologists and pathologists in resolving difficult breast lesions detected on imaging. While there are several separate resources available for radiology residents to study imaging modalities, there are few if any books that illustrate simultaneous radiology pathology correlates. This text will be a useful reference for residents, fellows, and practicing attendings in both disciplines. As the two disciplines of radiology and pathology are interrelated, the scope of the book is to provide and inform readers of not only typical examples of breast lesions that correlate with imaging findings that may or may not require surgical excision but also to resolve problematic lesions that are discordant with imaging findings. This book contains 14 chapters containing hundreds of images supplemented with key references. These chapters include outlines with systematic approaches to each disease entity punctuated by various imaging techniques, key diagnostic points seen on imaging, and pathology followed by differential diagnostic considerations. Finally, a summary of concordant and discordant findings is provided at the end of each section. Written by experts in the fields of radiology and pathology, as well as surgical colleagues that manage patients with breast diseases, Radiology Pathology Correlations of Breast Lesions serves as an easy-to-use reference for radiology and pathology residents and fellows, as well as practicing pathologists and radiologists. This book integrates the radiologic and pathologic appearance of relatively common breast lesions side-by-side with easy-to-understand descriptions and illustrations.

This book offers a detailed guide to MR-Linac, a unique and fast growing radiation treatment modality. MR-linac is new technology that is a fusion of an MRI and a linear accelerator on the same gantry. It can change both target volume delineation and tumor visualization in real time using MR-cine images and treatment. Tumor location changes moment to moment as radiation is delivered, but this cannot be visualized in current radiation therapy practices. This new and rapidly growing technology can provide adaptive therapy that was not possible before. This book presents current knowledge on MR-linac technology, clinical practices, and ultimately patient outcome where dose escalation is not possible due to limiting normal tissue structures in the vicinity of tumor. There are two commercial MR-linac machines under consideration and both will be covered in detail. The book is divided into four sections. The first gives a general introduction to MR-Linac, covering the role of MRI in radiation oncology, the clinical necessity of this technology, and patient selection. The next section details the physics and technology of MR-Linac, covering image sequence, motion management, and treatment planning. Section three offers the clinical applications of MR-Linac and is divided by body area, including lung, prostate, and breast. Finally, the fourth section looks to the future and what this technology can mean for radiation oncology. This is an ideal guide for radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and relevant trainees. .

This book presents the fields of radiation oncology and radiation biology and projects the potential changes over the next 100 years. The first section describes the status of the medical specialty of radiation oncology and offers predictions for the evolution of the specialty over the next decades. The second section deals with the predictions of the future of radiation biology. This more comprehensive and detailed section deals with two major categories: space travel and the medical and physiological consequences of long-term exposure to space irradiation, and the late effects of ionizing irradiation on humans who have received therapeutic radiotherapy. Expanding use of high dose rate, small volume targeted stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotactic ablative radiosurgery is expected to increase the numbers of long-term surviving patients. The medical, physiological, and radiobiological consequences of radiation late effect is described in detail. The current novel techniques of radiotherapy including FLASH irradiation, high LET particle irradiation, and novel strategies for a theranostics (combined radiographic diagnosis of metastatic deposits, and delivery of therapeutic radiation) are described, as well as the use of clinical radioisotopes in cancer therapy. This is an ideal guide for radiation oncologists and trainees who are particularly interested in where the field will progress over the next 100 years.

This book provides a practical overview of a central topic in cervical cancer concerning human papillomavirus (HPV), prevention, cervical cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Since the finding of human papillomavirus (HPV) being the cause of cervical cancer and its precursor symptoms, effective screening based on HPV DNA testing and prevention methods by HPV vaccination are established. Furthermore, new surgical methods, radiation therapy, and drug therapy are developed. To summarize the history and the recent advancement, this book is presented in five attractive parts: pathogenesis and epidemiology, cancer screening and prevention strategies, diagnosis and clinical management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), surgical treatments, and multimodal therapy. Recent Topics on Prevention, Diagnosis, and Clinical Management of Cervical Cancer is an appealing source for gynecologists, gynecologic surgeons, gynecologic pathologists, and gynecologic, clinical, and radiation oncologists. Also, primary care doctors, public health nurses, nurses, and pharmacists involved in cancer and other medical personnel will find the information and challenges presented tempting.
