This is an excellent book regarding stereotactic radiotherapy. It centers on treatment using the Cyberknife, an advanced stereotactic radiotherapy device created by Accuray. The book reveals how the Cyberknife can safely and effectively treat tumors using stereotactic radiotherapy in patients while they rest. The CK uses a 6-D approach at treatment, with a sufficient dose precisely where the "beams cross" at the tumor (ala Ghostbusters) while producing minimal reaction to surrounding tissue.The writers have done a wonderful job of producing credible clinical results while educating the reader in regard to this relatively new technique. If you are considering cancer treatment with the Cyberknife, this is a must read!
Terrible book. I see no reason why a couple of the editors were thoracic surgeons. And quit calling it radiosurgery, call it what it is-stereotactic body radiation therapy.
