Physics for Clinical Oncology

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics of ionising radiation for oncology trainees and the broader radiotherapy team. Beginning with fundamental concepts, the book explains the principles and clinical practice of radiotherapy, including various types of therapy, and emphasizes the relevance of physics to effective patient treatment. Part of a practical handbook series, it guides readers from the basic application of radiation principles through site-specific clinical practice. Designed for physicians, medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiographers, and senior nurses, the text integrates radiobiology and tumour biology with clinical radiotherapy to support both training and professional practice.
