This handbook summarizes the data and techniques for hypofractionation and stereotactic radiation in a clinically-accessible way. Hypofractionated radiation therapy, which consists of larger-dose radiation treatments that are given over a shorter time period compared to conventional radiation fraction sizes, is used to treat a variety of cancers, including prostate, breast, lung, and colorectal. Conventional radiation therapy and hypofractionated radiation therapy have different effectiveness rates for cancer treatment and have different impacts on normal tissues in terms of causing toxicity. There is a significant and growing body of literature on the use of different dosing regimens to treat a variety of cancers and radiation oncologists need to keep up with the various dosing schedules, the effect of each regimen on cancer control in different cancers, and how the different schedules affect each organ in terms of toxicity. The book thus provides concise information ranging from commonly-used dose-fractionation schemes for hypofractionated and stereotactic body radiotherapy to simulation and treatment specifications to published safety and efficacy data. Chapters additionally examine the biological rationales for the efficacy of hypofractionated radiation; present clinical studies that demonstrate the efficacy and safety of hypofractionated radiation treatment in a variety of cancers; and describe the advances in technology that have allowed hypofractionated radiation to be safely given. This is an ideal guide for radiation oncology clinicians and trainees.
本手册以临床上可访问的方式总结了大分割和立体定向放疗的数据和技术。大分割放射治疗包括大剂量放射治疗，与传统的放射分数相比，在更短的时间内给予，用于治疗各种癌症，包括前列腺癌、乳腺癌、肺癌和结直肠癌。常规放射治疗和大分割放射治疗对癌症治疗的有效率不同，在引起毒性方面对正常组织的影响也不同。关于使用不同的给药方案治疗各种癌症，有大量且越来越多的文献，放射肿瘤学家需要跟上各种给药方案、每种方案对不同癌症癌症控制的影响，以及不同的方案如何影响每个器官的毒性。因此，该书提供了简明的信息，从大分割和立体定向放射治疗的常用剂量分割方案到模拟和治疗规范，再到已发表的安全性和有效性数据。各章还研究了大分割放疗功效的生物学原理;目前的临床研究证明了大分割放射治疗在多种癌症中的有效性和安全性;并描述能够安全地进行大分割放疗的技术进步。这是放射肿瘤学临床医生和实习生的理想指南。
