Physics for Clinical Oncology
Radiotherapy remains a major non-surgical treatment modality for malignant disease, and an understanding of how this treatment works is essential in ensuring optimum practice. Trainees in oncology learn about ionising radiation, but to understand it fully they must also understand the physics relevant to its use in therapy. This book is written specifically for the oncology and radiation team, supporting clinical oncologists in their understanding of the science which underpins radiotherapy. It begins with basic concepts and then explores the principles and practice of physics as it relates to radiotherapy, including discussion of specific types of therapy. Written by authors chosen for their expertise in in their respective fields, and aligned to the Royal College of Radiologists FRCR Curriculum in Oncology, this volume will provide an excellent source of information for trainee and practicing oncologists, and wider radiotherapy teams. This second edition has been fully updated to reflect advances in technology and the increased complexity in modern radiotherapy, including two new chapters on imaging and a new brachytherapy chapter.
Radiotherapy and the Cancers of Children, Teenagers and Young Adults
A comprehensive, practical, and evidence-based guide to radiotherapy in the management of children and young people with cancer. It explores each cancer type and the various modalities of treatment available, with over 75 colour illustrations, case histories to demonstrate the various approaches, and further reading on each topic.
Imaging for Clinical Oncology
Imaging is a critical component of the management of patients having radiotherapy. This book covers the basic principles of the main imaging modalities; site specific chapters give best practice for individual tumour sites, and it also contains information on radioprotection and regulatory issues.
External Beam Therapy
External beam therapy is used to aim highly focused beams of radiation at the edge of the site where cancer is found. This book provides practical guidance, taking the reader through the fundamentals of clinical radiotherapy followed by detailed chapters on each tumour site, covering indications, treatment, and planning.
Marco Polo's Le Devisement Du Monde
The first book in English to examine one of the most important and influential texts from a literary perspective.
Towards the Prevention of Cancer
Cancer research leads to gradual improvements in treatment, but research into the prevention of cancer is just as important, as is early detection, as this is more likely to result in effective and curative treatment. Although much is still to be learned through research, great strides have already been made in our understanding of the causes and prevention of numerous cancers through the study of genetic predisposition, epidemiological analysis and investigation of contributory environmental factors. Based on an RSM conference and with contributions from renowned experts in this field, the text examines these important approaches and focuses on early detection and screening for certain common cancers, concluding with a chapter on vaccine-based approaches to cancer prevention.
Cambridge IGCSE® Physics Workbook
This edition of our successful series to support the Cambridge IGCSE Physics syllabus (0625) is fully updated for the revised syllabus for first examination from 2016. Written by a highly experienced author, Cambridge IGCSE Physics Workbook helps students build the skills required in both their theory and practical examinations. The exercises in this write-in workbook help to consolidate understanding and get used to using knowledge in new situations. They also develop information handling and problem solving skills and develop experimental skills including planning investigations and interpreting results. This accessible book encourages students to engage with the material. The answers to the exercises can be found on the Teacher's Resource CD-ROM.

Challenging Concepts in Oncology
Providing the inside track on how the experts approach and deal with real-world clinical scenarios, Challenging Concepts in Oncology contains wide-ranging and in-depth reviews of contemporary and often contentious topics in the world of oncology today. With a case-based approach and expert commentary throughout, complex patient presentations are discussed from a multidisciplinary perspective and all the angles necessary for accurate assessment, diagnosis, and management are fully considered and explored. Each case contains 'Clinical Tips', 'Learning Points', 'Expert Comments' and 'Evidence Base' to enhance the learning process and provide easy reference to important supplementary material. Aimed primarily at specialty trainees and registrars in oncology, this text will appeal to all those healthcare professionals with an interest in oncology.
Love, Of a Kind
Never one to shy away from difficult subjects, in Love, Of a Kind Dennis brings awkwardness, pain and intimacy together in an inimitable and pithy way. In over 50 new poems, accompanied by woodcut engravings, not only does Dennis present us with a different kind of love, but he also presents us with a different way of talking about love. With his work admired by the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Stephen Fry and Benjamin Zephaniah, Love, Of a Kind is an invaluable and indispensible collection of poetry for any poetry lovers' shelf and, for that matter, any lover's shelf.
