The goal of the Handbook is to provide evidence-based information but also to be reflective of the knowledge gained through experience in practice.
All chapters represent a joint collaboration between residents and staff radiation oncologists, in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Cleveland Clinic. Throughout the
