Klappentext zu „Nuclear Oncology “
This book provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of both the basic principles and the clinical applications of nuclear oncology imaging techniques. The authors have assembled a distinguished group of leaders in the field who provide valuable insight on the subject. The book also includes major chapters on the cancer patient and the pathophysiology of abnormal tissue, the evaluation of co-existing disease, and the diagnosis and therapy of specific tumors using functional imaging studies. Each chapter is heavily illustrated to assist the reader in understanding the clinical role of nuclear oncology in cancer disease therapy and management. Nuclear Oncology: Pathophysiology and Clinical Applications is a comprehensive textbook covering the increasing role of radionuclide-based technologies in the management of oncologic patients, with disease-oriented chapters giving a detailed overview of current indications and developments. Topics covered include instrumentation, physics, radiobiology, radioguided surgery, and radionuclide therapy, which is discussed with useful separate topics describing the importance of organ function assessment after cancer therapies in the heart, lung, kidney and the gastro-intestinal tract. Additionally, significant aspects of cancer biology and molecular imaging are discussed, as well as appropriate tracers for both single- and positron-emitting radionuclides. Individual chapters in the book focus on the most common cancers occurring in adults and children, detailing radionuclide procedures within an integrated framework identifying the information required for effective treatment of specific tumors. These clinical chapters provide a description of the epidemiology, etiology, histologic and pathophysiologic classification, prognosis, treatment, and most common outcome for each type of cancer. With contributions from a group of internationally-distinguished practitioners, Nuclear Oncology: Pathophysiology and Clinical

This book will feature 24 chapters that will provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of both the basic principles and the clinical applications of nuclear oncology imaging techniques. Drs. Larson and Strauss, world-renowned experts, have assembled a distinguished group of leaders in the nuclear oncology field who will provide insight on topics such as nuclear physics, nuclear instrumentation, radiobiology, nuclear pharmacy, and molecular imaging. The book will also include major chapters on the cancer patient and the pathophysiology of abnormal tissue, the evaluation of co-existing disease, and the diagnosis and therapy of specific tumors using functional imaging studies. Each chapter will be heavily illustrated with MR, CT, and radionuclide studies (FDG-PET scans) to assist the reader in understanding the clinical role of nuclear oncology in cancer disease therapy and management.

Rezension zu „Nuclear Oncology “
From the reviews:"This is one of only a few books dedicated to this emerging field. ... The intended audience is practitioners in nuclear medicine, especially those with a significant interest in oncology, and how nuclear medicine procedures, imaging, and therapy can be integrated into patient management. ... This is an outstanding and thorough review of the applications of nuclear medicine to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of patients with cancer. ... It will be a valuable resource for practitioners in the field of nuclear medicine." (Bennett S. Greenspan, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2013)
