Surgery versus Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Early-Stage Lung Cancer presents to most up to date data available regarding the relative nature, purpose, risks and benefits of the 2 techniques. The current evidence, relevant controversies, and future directions are critically discussed by an international panel of experts, from Asia, Europe, and North America. The editors have compiled more than 25 outstanding contributions that present a fair and balanced treatment of this critically important subject. This book offers a balanced overview of the latest advances in both surgical and SBRT developments. This should hopefully provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the current debate, helping guide even better management of our lung cancer patients in the future.
