By Dr Thankamma Ajithkumar

The book named Radiotherapy Planning is a significant addition to the Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Oncology series. This comprehensive guide provides a firm basis on unchangeable principles of modern radiotherapy practice. It covers advanced techniques and simpler field-based arrangements that can be used globally for clinical practice, including countries with limited resources. The site-specific chapters are structured in two parts, where the first part discusses current treatment approaches, emphasizing underlying principles to ensure it remains appropriate and useful regardless of changes in other cancer treatments. The second part of each chapter discusses the most important clinical trials that informed the current approaches to treatment at the time of publication. The book also includes a section on imaging features of different tumors useful for clinicians to choose appropriate images for target volume delineation.

This handbook is an ideal introduction for new trainees in the specialty and encourages all clinical oncologists to think logically, pose challenging questions, analyze outcomes effectively, and deliver treatment assessed according to its clinical benefit to patients and academic rigor.
