Radiotherapy is second only to surgery as a curative treatment for cancer. As with the first edition of Steel's book, the second deals in a simple way with the basic science underlying radiotherapy, and explains the objectives of current attempts to improve the response of tumours to radiotherapy. It is an essential teaching aid for students of radiotherapy, and will also be of importance to established ratiotherapists who need to acquire the scientific basis of the latest developments and approaches in radiotherapy. The new edition's coverage of recent advances in molecular biology will be of particular importance to trainee and qualified professional alike. The reader of the second edition will find a concise outline of the biological basis of radiotherapy, put together by a team of highly esteemed biologists, the majority of whom are involved in the European Society for Therapeutic Radiation Oncology (ESTRO) courses on Basic Radiation Oncology. This second edition uses the same clear and concise style; each chapter will have a bibliography of key papers, plus a box of key points and will maintain the first edition's high ratio of figures to text.
