At the dawn of the 21st century, broncho-pulmonary cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in men and its incidence in women is progressing steadily.
The treatment of broncho-pulmonary cancer has changed considerably in recent years, taking a multidisciplinary approach and employing the most up-to-date technological innovations.
Chemotherapy has obviously played an important part in the latest therapeutic approach, but progress has also been made in surgery, anesthesia and post-operative intensive care.
Radiotherapy has also undergone a technological revolution, with the arrival of conformational radiotherapy and endobronchial curietherapy.
This book, edited by Christophe Hennequin, gives details of the latest approaches in radiotherapy for broncho-pulmonary cancer and describes how it should be used alongside other treatments at the different stages in the progress of the disease.
