Breast Cancer

Radiation Medicine Rounds is a trinary, hard cover,
periodical designed to provide an up-to-date review of a dedicated radiation
medicine topic of interest to clinicians and scientists who are involved in the care
of patients receiving radiotherapy. It is intended to serve as both a reference and

radiation therapy in breast cancer. The specialty of radiation therapy has increased
in complexity over the years, yet as technology improves, the goal of improving
outcomes while decreasing toxicity remains critical. Breast
Cancer provides the practitioner with a full current overview of the
present best practices and recent research in management of this complex and
challenging cancer.
