Commonly Prescribed Medications in Radiation Oncology (12th edition) has been prepared/updated to assist radiation oncology staff in the approach to, and prescribing information for common pharmaceuticals in managing radiation oncology side effects. As always, it is intended as an aid to decision-making, and is not an exhaustive compilation of all available approaches and medications (or associated side effects of these medications), or as the final authority for managing all potential side effects. No pharmaceutical company or distributor is involved in the production of this document. Since its inception 30 years ago in 1994, numerous individuals have been involved – my thanks to you all for your contributions. For this 12th edition, I wish to thank Sandra Simpson for her assistance in production, and Rebecca McInturf, CMD, and Becky Jorgensen for managing the logistics of promotion and availability. And to all users of this manual, past and present, my thanks as well. I wish to especially acknowledge and thank my wife, Patricia Dziuk, Ph.D., for her support and encouragement through the years.
