Reviews
From the reviews of the first edition: ...It should be in the library of every radiotherapy department, and in the hands of every trainee... #British Medical Journal#1 .. .This book should be an important and interesting reference book on the shelves of any medical library or radiotherapist's office. #American Journal of Roentgenology#2 .. .There can...be few established radiotherapists, described by the editors as the epitome of the oncologist, who did not read the earlier versions of the Manchester textbook and may still use it for reference. This latest edition is costly but it should continue to be read by all trainees aspiring to the DMRT and FRCR, wherever they may be in training and whatever the philosophy of their teachers. #Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine#3
