This third edition of the Textbook of Radiation Oncology comes 6 years after the second edition published in 2004. Steve Leibel and Ted Phillips planned the third edition and selected the authors in 2007. Steve's death in early 2008 required a rethinking of the editorial effort and Rich Hoppe and Mack Roach agreed to join Ted as editors. The text was renamed Leibel and Phillips Textbook of Radiation Oncology. A reorganization of the editing assignments was required, resulting in some delay.
True to the goals of the previous editions, the latest advances in radiation oncology were included in all of the site chapters, with expanded sections on emerging modalities and imaging. The importance of imaging in today's radiation oncology practice cannot be overemphasized. Color illustrations were incorporated throughout to further stress imaging as fundamental to the specialty. Multimodality approaches to treatment are essential and to assure adequate surgical and medical oncologic input, co-authors from these specialties were included in most site chapters.
As in the past the biological and anatomic background needed to select the correct targets and doses is provided rather than a rote prescription of “classic” ports and plans. Biological and genetic factors are well covered to allow the reader to understand and explore further the huge literature on molecular changes in cancer and their impact on treatment and outcome.
