Présentation de l'éditeur

This concise but comprehensive textbook sets out the essentials of the science and clinical application of radiobiology for those seeking accreditation in radiation oncology, clinical radiation physics and radiation technology. Fully revised and updated to keep abreast of current developments in radiation biology and radiation oncology, the fourth edition continues to present in an interesting way the biological basis of radiation therapy, discussing the basic principles and significant developments that underlie the latest attempts to improve the radiotherapeutic management of cancer. New topics for the fourth edition include chapters on the mechanisms of cell death, biological response modifiers, and biological image guided radiotherapy, with major revisions to sections on the molecular basis of the radiation response, tumour hypoxia and the dose-rate effect. A variety of new authors have contributed to this revision, who, together with the new Editorial team, have used their significant international teaching experience to ensure the content remains clear and comprehensive, and as valuable to the trainee as it is to the established radiation oncologist. With the fourth edition we will see the most radical change so far - as Professor Gordon Steel has retired as Editor and has been replaced by Bert van der Kogel, the current current course director for the above-mentioned course, plus Michael Joiner, who is the head of the Radiation Biology Program at the Wayne State University and is the Associate Editor of the International Journal of Radiation Biology.

Basic Clinical Radiobiology. I selected this book for teaching purposes this Spring 2010 at Texas A&M University. The book gives a clear overview of radiobiology within the paradigm of clinical radiotherapy. The book is well written and it begins with clear basic principles in molecular biology with a trajectory into radiation effects, from the cellular level all the way to the clinical setting. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 are exceptional for those that want to pursue a better understanding of cellular radiobiology while other chapters are clearly directed for those that want to have a perspective in clinical radiobiology. The book gives a glimpse to combination therapies (i.e. targeted therapies combined with radiotherapy), which is the future of molecular medicine and clinical radiotherapy. The graphics, tables and examples are exceptionally clear. The book cites pertinent references; therefore, you can go back to the original research articles if you want a deep understanding of the issues being discussed.

However, I would like the authors to address the paradigm shift of cancer stem cells and its impact in clinical radiotherapy, and the emerging area of systems biology as applied to radiation biology. I wish the authors expand this two specific areas in future editions to allow students realize that medical physics is NOT an engineering or physics discipline but a multidisciplinary one where biology, medicine, physics and engineering are all intertwine.

Overall I congratulate the authors for providing a exceptional book for reference and teaching purposes.

This is an excellent overview of fundamental topics in radiobiology. The writing and explanations are very clear. Chapter 3 in particular is a concise and outstanding review of a key issue- exactly how does ionizing radiation lead to cell death? This chapter and the book as a whole are not intended to delve deeply into radiobiology topics but instead provide the fundamentals for students/residents/etc... in as clear a manner as I have come across. Highly recommended.
