The book summarizes the changed practice of management: treatment planning for cervical cancer, not modified for over 60 years, has been shifted to an image-based approach, endometrial cancer management with an increase in the use of chemotherapy and vaginal brachytherapy, and vaginal cancer therapy including image guidance and high-dose delivery with IMRT UR - http://148.231.10.114:2048/login?url=http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-540-68958-4 ER -
