Over the past several years, access to particle therapy, whether it be proton therapy or other heavy ion therapy, has increased dramatically. \u003ci\u003ePrinciples and Practice of Particle Therapy\u003c\/i\u003e is a clinically oriented resource that can be referenced by both experienced clinicians and those who are just beginning their venture into particle therapy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by a team with significant experience in the field, topics covered include: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackground information related to particle therapy, including the clinically relevant physics, radiobiological, and practical aspects of developing a particle therapy program\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e“Niche” treatments, such as FLASH, BNCT, and GRID therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe simulation process, target volume delineation, and unique treatment planning considerations for each disease site\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLess commonly used ions, such as fast neutrons or helium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrinciples and Practice of Particle Therapy\u003c\/i\u003e is a go-to reference work for any health professional involved in the rapidly evolving field of particle therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothy D. Malouff\u003c\/b\u003e is an emerging leader in particle therapy. He has published and presented extensively on a variety of topics related to particle therapy, including proton therapy, carbon ion therapy, boron neutron capture therapy, and other heavy ion therapy. Dr. Malouff’s research goals include critically evaluating and expanding the indications for “novel” radiation modalities, including particle therapy. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Malouff enjoys spending time with his family.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel M. Trifiletti \u003c\/b\u003eas an international leader in radiation oncology and stereotactic radiosurgery at the Mayo Clinic, the research of Dr. Trifiletti includes numerous clinical studies involving radiation, surgery and drug therapies in the treatment of tumors. Dr. Trifiletti’s short-term research goals focus on describing the impact of radiation on the priming of the brain tumor microenvironment. Discovering the biological underpinnings of radiation priming will allow for novel, “game-changing” cancer therapies, rapid translation to early-stage clinical trials and, ultimately, improved outcomes in patients with fatal diseases. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 June 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781119707516\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e560\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44384154484876,"sku":"9781119707516","price":161.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781119707516_12d361a9-2c97-4b49-9f4b-4e0a5aced624.jpg?v=1780110633","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781119707516","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
