Features: Led by Professor Wang Junjie, a group of young scholars from Peking University Third Hospital, together with experts from other hospitals, co-authored the book "Radioactive Particle Implantation Therapy for Prostate Cancer." This book collects and references a large number of foreign literature, refining the essence, and combines the clinical experience of the authors to elaborate in detail on general aspects of prostate cancer, the physics of radioactive particle therapy, and the clinical application of radioactive particle implantation therapy for prostate cancer. The authors provide a detailed introduction to the physical and biological characteristics of different radioactive particles, the operational procedures and precautions during clinical implantation, potential complications after implantation, and radiological protection issues. The authors also explain current problems that may occur after prostate particle implantation in a question-and-answer format, which has a strong (popular science) flavor. This book helps improve the knowledge of tumor-related topics among medical workers, oncologists, urologists, and radiation oncologists, while broadening the knowledge of medical students and general readers.
