Clinical target volumes in conformal and intensity modulated radiation therapy : a clinical guide to cancer treatment /

Conformal radiation therapy represents a new challenge for radiation oncologists. It offers the prospect of either increasing the radiation dose to target tissues while delivering a similar dose to organs at risk, or reducing the dose to organs at risk while maintaining the dose to target tissues. H...
