Product Description

This issue of Radiation Medicine Rounds examines the latest advances in the use of radiation medicine in treatment of head and neck cancer. Head and neck cancer treatment has undergone major change over the course of the past few years and Head and Neck Cancer addresses current best practices in the light of the most recent evidence.

All of the chapters are written by international experts in the field, address the common clinical scenarios in head and neck cancer and are multidisciplinary in scope. Chapters examining health services in head and neck cancer as well as factors influencing clinical decisions round out the coverage.

Radiation Medicine Rounds features :

  • In-depth, up-to-date expert reviews and analysis of major new developments in all areas of Radiation Medicine
  • Each issue edited by an authority in that subject area
  • Each issue focused on a single major topic in Radiation Medicine, providing coverage of advances in radiation science, radiation medicine technology, radiation medicine practice, and assessment of recent quality and outcome studies

Series Description: Radiation Medicine Rounds is a review series providing a thorough analysis of new scientific, technologic, and clinical advances in all areas of radiation medicine. There will be an emphasis throughout on multidisciplinary approaches to the specialty, as well as an emphasis on quality and outcomes analysis. The goal is to provide authoritative, thorough assessment of a wide range of “hot topics” and emerging new data for the entire specialty of radiation medicine.

Product Description
This volume contains the proceedings of the First International Conference on Eicosanoids and Other Bioactive Lipids in Cancer and Radiation Injury held in Detroit, Michigan on October 11-14, 1989. The conference was unique in its forging of a link between the eicosanoid and lipid researchers in the disciplines of radiobiology and cancer. The diverse roles that eicosanoids and other bioactive lipids play in these biological phenomena, including the participation of lipid oxidation in conversion of procarcinogens, positive and negative modulation of tumor growth, immunomodulation, tissue injury, and yet protection and enhancement of cancer therapy, necessitated a scientific interaction to sort out and understand these complex and sometimes contradictory observations. The scope of this volume encompasses the complete range of eicosanoid studies in these two fields, beginning with discussions of improved means of detecting eicosanoids using radioimmunoassays, high performance liquid chromatography, and GC-mass spectrometry and including specialized assays of the enzyme system involved in the metabolism of the bioactive lipids. Studies on the mechanistic basis of bioactive lipids in carcinogenesis and radiation injury have been conducted in vitro in biochemical assays and cell culture, culminating in observations in vivo, including applications in the treatment of cancer patients.

Their maximum exposure guidance levels vary with frequency and the place where people are exposed. Current US FCC levels (set in the 1950’s) are set to protect against direct effects such as electric shock and body tissue heating. ICNIRP exposure levels do NOT consider that the available scientific evidence regarding reported adverse health effects at lower exposure levels justifies a more precautionary attitude. This advice now differs from a number of other authorities who have chosen to issue more precautionary maximum advisable public exposure levels for chronic (ie long-term) involuntary exposure.
