      abstract = {This is the third, completely updated edition of a  comprehensive book in which many of the worlds leading lung  cancer specialists discuss the recent advances in the  radiation oncology of lung cancer and reflect on the latest  research findings in lung cancer and other intrathoracic  malignancies. Lung cancer remains the major cancer killer  in both sexes worldwide. It is so despite significant  progress in recent decades in both diagnostic and treatment  approaches. New biological and technological advances in  this field are now faster incorporated in the overall  decision-making process and are bringing fast and  substantial improvements in both survivals and quality of  life of lung cancer patients. Optimized patient-oriented  approaches are reality of the third decade of this  millennium and thoracic oncologists strive towards nothing  but seamlessly delivering it in a continuous battle with  lung cancer. The first three sections of the work cover the  basic science of lung cancer, clinical investigations,  including histology and staging, and a wide range of  fundamental treatment considerations. Current treatment  strategies for small cell and non-small cell lung cancer as  well as other intrathoracic malignancies are then explained  and evaluated in detail, with due attention to novel  approaches that promise further improvements in outcome.  The various types of treatment-related toxicity are  discussed, and quality of life studies and prognostic  factors are also considered. After evaluating the latest  technological and biological advances, including  stereotactic radiotherapy, and particle therapy, the book  concludes by thorough consideration of specific aspects of  clinical research in lung cancer. This concise yet  comprehensive book is an invaluable resource for radiation  oncologists.},
