Radiation Oncology: An Evidence-Based Approach

Radiation Oncology: An Evidence-Based Approach (ROEBA) is a reference book designed to enable radiation oncologists,
including those in training, to make diagnostic and treatment decisions on the basis of the best available scientific
evidence. Ease of use is ensured by a structured, reader-friendly format that offers rapid access to evidence-based
recommendations. ROEBA’s orientation is entirely practical, in that the focus is solely on diagnostic/staging and
treatment issues. Detailed diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines are provided for multidisciplinary cancer management
as well as radiation therapy techniques. The evidence underlying each recommendation is clearly and concisely
explained, and the strength of the recommendations and
evidence is systemically graded. Furthermore, diagnostic and treatment algorithms are provided for commonly diagnosed
cancers, including non-small-cell lung cancer, small-cell lung cancer, most gastrointestinal and genitourinary tumors,
and certain head and neck cancers. This ground-breaking text on radiation oncology is an essential tool for physicians
in their daily clinical practice.
