This book deals in detail with all aspects of the best practice in modern radiotherapy for Hodgkin s lymphomas. It provides the background and rationale for the inclusion of radiotherapy in today s combined-modality approach, including special clinical situations such as Hodgkin s lymphomas in children, in the pregnant patient, and in the elderly. Radiotherapy planning using state-of-the-art imaging, target definition, planning software, and treatment equipment is expounded in detail. Acute and long-term side effects of radiotherapy are analyzed, and the implications for modern radiotherapy approaches in Hodgkin s lymphomas are explained.
