Raising the standard for radiation biology textbooks, this graduate-level text offers an up-to-date analysis of molecular responses in the body induced by ionizing radiation. It presents an in-depth perspective on clinical applications for the treatment of cancer and radiation injuries. Based on a popular course at McGill University, the book clarifies the underlying mechanisms of radiation effects on signal transduction pathways using terms that non-experts in molecular biology can...
More DescriptionRaising the standard for radiation biology textbooks, this graduate-level text offers an up-to-date analysis of molecular responses in the body induced by ionizing radiation. It presents an in-depth perspective on clinical applications for the treatment of cancer and radiation injuries. Based on a popular course at McGill University, the book clarifies the underlying mechanisms of radiation effects on signal transduction pathways using terms that non-experts in molecular biology can understand. With an emphasis on medical physics, it relates principles of radiobiophysics and key advances with potential applications of ionizing radiation for diagnosis and treatment.
