Treatment of abdominal cancers is a complex and dynamic area of oncology, and radiation therapy is playing an increasingly prominent role. The purpose of this book is to provide a step-by-step guide to image-guided radiation treatment (IGRT) for abdominal cancers. The book not only provides information for radiation oncologists and medical physicists on the evidence that broadly drives our practice, but also discusses practical details that arise in the day-to-day management. Finally, the authors also address the shortcomings of our present-day knowledge and look forward to future directions. This text is divided into four broad categories: an overview of IGRT on abdominal cancers; principles of IGRT for abdominal cancer; practice of IGRT for abdominal cancer; advances in IGRT for abdominal cancers. As such, the book not only covers the fundamental knowledge required to implement the IGRT techniques in abdominal cancer treatment with detailed operational procedures involved, but also provides an overview of emerging techniques for future application. Part of IPEM-IOP Series in Physics and Engineering in Medicine and Biology.

This monograph summarizes state of the art knowledge regarding peritoneal surface malignancies, with in-depth description of treatment options and the results achieved to date. It explores the most challenging problems on the basis of the authors’ very extensive clinical experience and examines the most relevant clinical trials. A comprehensive summary is provided of all phase 2 studies (the only available completed studies) and of ongoing and future phase 3 studies. Particular attention is paid to the results of integrated treatment comprising cytoreduction (peritonectomy) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Helpful background information is also included on the definition and clinical assessment of each clinical form. The book, drawing on data from the entire Italian experience as well as world literature, will be an outstanding benchmark for health professionals and researchers.
