Main description:

This book provides the reader with a focused review of multimodality imaging strategies (radiology and molecular imaging) in staging and re-staging the major types of cancer (i.e. thyroid, breast, colon-rectum, lung, prostate, pancreas, liver, head and neck, and hematological cancer), including rare neoplasms.
In addition to presenting the possible diagnostic pathways for all oncologic diseases, the book identifies those interventions currently available in clinical practice (these being a branch of interventional radiology), while also examining and detailing molecular radiotherapy strategies.
The work has an interdisciplinary appeal and, thanks to its highly informative and cutting-edge coverage, professionals as well as advanced students and residents in radiology, oncology and surgery will find it of particular interest.
