    Summary: This book is a practical guide to the use of modern radiation therapy techniques in women with gynecological cancers. Step-by-step instruction is provided on simulation, contouring, and treatment planning and delivery for cancers of the cervix, endometrium, vagina, and vulva. Beyond external beam radiation delivery, full details are presented on three-dimensional brachytherapy at all sites for which it is applicable. Moreover, in-depth guidance is offered on the various advanced techniques of radiation delivery, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image guidance for external beam and brachytherapy, and stereotactic body radiotherapy. Radiation therapy is a critical component of the multidisciplinary management of gynecological tumors. With modern technology, both external beam radiation and brachytherapy can be delivered in a highly conformal way. This requires precise contouring and accurate planning techniques. In clearly describing the indications for and the delivery of quality radiation therapy for gynecological tumors, this book will benefit radiation oncologists, medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, radiation therapists, and radiotherapy residents.

    Brush border membrane bound disaccharidases (sucrase and maltase) and lysosomal enzyme (alpha-glucosidase, beta-D-fucosidase and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase) activities awere studied in amniotic fluid (AF). The above enzymes except N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase showed a decrease in activity with gestational age beginning at about the 19th week. The activities of sucrase and maltase correlate with the morphological maturation of fetal intestinal mucosa. The distribution of disaccharidases and lysosomal alpha-glucosidase in AF and intestinal mucosa showed different patterns suggesting that these enzymes originate in diverse fetal tissues.
