This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

Although there are 14 contributors to this book it is well edited to present a coherent theme starting with the physics of radiotherapy, through protection, basic radiobiology into pharmacology and chemotherapy. En route the subjects of hypoxia, sensitizations and radioprotective agents are covered. Much of the evidence considered derives from clinically orientated animal experiments.
