Customer Rating:
Summary: A welcome addition to the radiation oncology library
Comment: Gunderson and Tepper provides a thorough coverage of Radiation Oncology. Overviews of each topic help place treatment principles in context, and authors clearly develop the rationale for treatment recommendations based on key clinical trials. Important aspects of pathology and radiology are reviewed where necessary.
Clear summaries and suggested treatment algorithms are provided.
Layout is clear and logical with excellent indexing.
Clinical Radiation Oncology is aimed at those seeking a balanced knowledge of Radiation Oncology, but in places falls short of the detail provided by the likes of Perez.
Very readable and highly recommended, Gunderson and Tepper provides a sound knowledge base for those working in the field of radiation oncology.

Summary: An Important Text
Comment: Clinical Radiation Oncology by Gunderson and Tepper is an important text for practitioners in the field. It is more recent, and therefore more up to date, than the Textbook of Radiation Oncology by Leibel and Phillips. Additionally, this book appears to draw on a wider range of investigators and institutions than the Leibel text.
The new Gunderson has improved considerably from its first edition. It begins each clinical unit with an overview segment. Although this feature can be repetitive, it is also quite helpful to students of the field who find themselves overwhelmed by the amount of information one must assimilate. Although the Gunderson text has some weaknesses, notably a skimpy section of the treatment of benign disease, it covers most important disease sites well.
The new Gunderson is a hefty tome, running almost 2000 pages, and yet it is only a summary text of radiation oncology. To answer more esoteric questions, one must turn to Perez and Brady or a primary literature search. That being said, this book is a welcome addition to the available collection of radiation oncology references and should be read by all trainees.
Customer Rating:
