Interventional oncology has emerged as an important specialty within cancer care, providing targeted therapy and palliative benefits without the side effects of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. Covering the principles of current and emerging interventional oncology techniques and detailed diagnosis, staging and treatment algorithms, this book outlines the ways in which these image-guided therapies can inform cancer management strategies. Access to the most current information is vital in this rapidly growing and evolving area of practice. This new edition reflects the most recent clinical data on interventional oncology procedures. Chapters on image guidance and targeting, tumor ablation, embolotherapy, and response assessment have been updated to reflect major technological advances, and new material on microwave ablation and irreversible electroporation has been added. This invaluable resource for interventional radiologists provides essential education and guidance on the full range of minimally invasive image-guided procedures and their integration into comprehensive cancer care.

Cet ouvrage, écrit par des physiciens médicaux et des médecins spécialistes expérimentés, a été coordonné par le Dr es Sciences Ginette MARINELLO, ex-Chef de l’Unité de Radiophysique et de Radioprotection du Patient du CHU Henri Mondor de Créteil (France) et le Pr Jianji PAN, Chef du Service de Radiothérapie de l’Institut du Cancer et Directeur du Centre d’Assurance de Qualité de la Province du Fujian (RP de Chine). Il a pour but de faire le point sur les différents systèmes d’imagerie associés aux accélérateurs modernes de radiothérapie : EPID, systèmes d’imagerie embarqués à 2 ou 3 dimensions utilisant des RX de basse ou haute énergie, systèmes d’imagerie fixés au sol et au plafond. et systèmes d’imagerie indépendants irradiants ou non irradiants (systèmes optiques d’imagerie surfacique et à ultra-sons). Outre une description des systèmes, le principe de formation et d’exploitation des images produites est expliqué et illustré par de nombreux exemples pratiques. Les contrôles de qualité à effectuer obligatoirement à leur réception, puis périodiquement, pour assurer une qualité d’image indispensable, sont détaillés ainsi que les matériels et méthodes à utiliser et les tolérances acceptables. Une partie importante de l’ouvrage est consacrée à la pratique clinique avec de nombreux exemples montrant les possibilités et l’intérêt de l’utilisation des appareils d’imagerie pour les irradiations standard (sein), la modulation d’intensité IMRT ou VMAT (ORL), les irradiations stéréotaxiques intracrâniennes ou extracrâniennes (métastases osseuses) ou pendant les différentes stratégies d’irradiation des tumeurs mobiles (poumon et foie), et la protonthérapie (tumeurs de la base du crâne et mélanomes oculaires). L’utilisation de l’EPID comme dosimètre de transit pour le contrôle in vivo et l’enregistrement des doses délivrées aux patients pendant l’irradiation fait l’objet de tout un chapitre contenant, entre autres, la description des méthodes de calcul sur lesquelles sont basés différents logiciels. Enfin, un dernier chapitre est dédié aux méthodes d’évaluation des doses délivrées spécifiquement par les différents types d’imagerie et aux problèmes qu’elles posent. De par son contenu, étayé par une importante liste de références bibliographiques et de nombreuses figures, cet ouvrage s’avère être un outil indispensable pour tous ceux qui pratiquent la radiothérapie et s’intéressent à la radioprotection des patients, qu’ils soient médecins, physiciens médicaux, dosimétristes, manipulateurs d’électroradiologie médicale ou personnel technique et paramédical., et bien sûr pour les étudiants.

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 book provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art computational intelligence research and technologies in computer-assisted radiation therapy based on image engineering. It also traces major technical advancements and research findings in the field of image-based computer-assisted radiation therapy. In high-precision radiation therapies, novel approaches in image engineering including computer graphics, image processing, pattern recognition, and computational anatomy play important roles in improving the accuracy of radiation therapy and assisting decision making by radiation oncology professionals, such as radiation oncologists, radiation technologists, and medical physicists, in each phase of radiation therapy. All the topics presented in this book broaden understanding of the modern medical technologies and systems for image-based computer-assisted radiation therapy. Therefore this volume will greatly benefit not only radiation oncologists and radiologists but also radiation technologists, professors in medical physics or engineering, and engineers involved in the development of products to utilize this advanced therapy.

Recent advances in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies led to a new worldwide consensus to introduce image guidance to gynecologic radiation therapy, particularly to brachytherapy. The book summarizes the changed practice of management: treatment planning for cervical cancer, not modified for over 60 years, has been shifted to an image-based approach, endometrial cancer management with an increase in the use of chemotherapy and vaginal brachytherapy, and vaginal cancer therapy including image guidance and high-dose delivery with IMRT.
