    Summary: This book is an evidence-based guide to current use of radiation therapy for the treatment of malignancies at major disease sites. It is designed to meet the needs of residents, fellows, and practicing radiation oncologists and will assist in selection and delineation of tumor volumes/fields and dose prescription for intensity-modulated radiation therapy, including volumetric modulated arc therapy for stereotactic radiosurgery or stereotactic body radiotherapy. Each tumor site-related chapter presents, from the perspective of an academic expert, informative cases at different stages in order to clarify specific clinical concepts. The coverage includes case presentation, a case-related literature review, patient preparation, simulation, contouring, treatment planning, image-guided treatment delivery, follow-up, and toxicity management. The text is accompanied by illustrations ranging from slice-by-slice delineations on planning CT images to finalized plan evaluations based on detailed acceptance criteria. The expert knowledge and evidence contained in this comprehensive book will give readers the confidence to manage common cancers without outside referral and to meet the clinical challenges faced in everyday practice.

    The efficacy of indomethacin, a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, in severe dysmenorrhoea was established in a double-blind crossover study using aspirin and placebo as the control drugs. Forty-seven female undergraduates were treated twice with each of the three substances during six consecutive menstrual cycles. Good or moderate relief was achieved in 71% of the cycles treated with indomethacin, in 40% of those treated with aspirin and in 21% of those treated with the placebo. Dizziness and drowsiness were cited by 14 patients (30%) as side-effects of indomethacin, none of these patients discontinued the therapy because all obtained good or moderate relief from dysmenorrhoea. Indomethacin proved to be a valuable agent, and significantly better than aspirin in the treatment of dysmenorrhoea. It allowed many dysmenorrhoeic women to carry out their normal activities and work during the menstrual period.
