PRACTICAL GUIDES IN RADIATION ONCOLOGY TARGET...

This handbook is designed to provide the radiation oncologist with clear practical guidance in
the delineation of tumor volumes and or radiation fields for a wide variety of pediatric
cancers  including the most frequently encountered malignancies of childhood. This is a guide
to designing treatment fields and volumes that may be utilized in the delivery of conformal
therapies such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy and proton therapy  the latter being
particularly relevant in children. Each chapter focuses on a specific tumor type  providing
general guidelines that will assist the reader in delineating the clinical target volume for
particular presentations  including patterns of spread. As the target volumes can be complex 
detailed illustrations are presented of the volumes in representative cases  contoured slice by
slice on the planning CT images. In addition to target volume delineation for conformal
treatment  field design setup for conventional approaches is also discussed.
