This book elucidates the radiation therapy protocols and procedures for the management of adult patients presenting with primary benign and malignant central nervous system tumors. With the development of new treatment strategies and rapid advancement of radiation technology, it is crucial for radiation oncologists to maintain and refine their knowledge and skills. Dedicated exclusively to adult CNS radiation oncology, this textbook explores CNS tumors ranging from the common to the esoteric as well as secondary cancers of metastatic origin. The first half of the book is organized anatomically: tumors of the brain, spinal cord, leptomeninges, optic pathway, ocular choroid, and skull base. The second half covers primary CNS lymphoma, rare CNS tumors, metastatic brain disease, vascular conditions of the CNS, radiation-associated complications, and radiation modalities. Each chapter provides guidance on treatment field design, target delineation, and normal critical structure toleranceconstraints in the context of the disease being treated. Learning objectives, case studies, and Maintenance of Certification Self-Assessment Continuing Medical Education-style questions and answers are incorporated throughout the book. This is an ideal guide for radiation oncologists, residents, and fellows, but medical students may also find value in the text.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This timely textbook addresses modern developments in radiation therapy technology including image guidance and advances in molecular prognostic and predictive factors in the field of neurological radiation oncology. … The book is well-organized by disease sites―brain, skull base, and spine―which include both benign and malignant tumors. … This book has many strengths, including well-designed descriptive figures, thorough discussion of management strategies and useful self-assessment questions.” (Tony J. C.Wang, Neurosurgery, Vol. 84 (5), May, 2019)

This is a comprehensive Text and atlas of Radiation Oncology for the Central Nervous System. The roles of LINAC, proton beam, and Gamma Beam, conventional fractionated, intensity modulated and volumetric treatments are carefully evaluated. The book covers the epidemiology, etiology, biomarkers, diagnosis, treatment, complications, and sequelae of radiation treatments. Several 2D and 3D images using Standard radiographic, MRI, CT, PET, and reconstruction of full color schemes are considered. 100s of case studies are presented which clarifies issues examined. Gliomas (low grade and high grade), meningiomas, craniopharynglomas, vestibular schwannomas, single and multiple metastases, leptomeningeal mets, spinal meningial, astrocytic, and other tumors are discussed in several unique chapters. The role of split dosing, hyper fractionated and hypo fractionated protocols are considered. Uveal and retinal malignancies are part of the discussions. Radiation necrosis, radiation myelopathy, and cognitive complications are considered. Secondary neoplasms resulting from damage to various structures are discussed. Stereotactic radiotherapy, whole brain protocols, and primary spinal, lung, prostate malignancies are described also. Brachytherapy, radiophysics, and radiological biology are considered with reference to other treatments. This is a good book for those interested in Radiation Oncology.
