Synopsis

The definitive, most comprehensive text on pediatric oncology is now in its thoroughly updated Fifth Edition. A multidisciplinary group of the world's foremost specialists presents state-of-the-art information and guidelines on every aspect of pediatric cancer--from molecular biology and genetics to diagnosis, multimodal therapy, follow-up, and supportive care. This edition has new chapters on pathology and molecular diagnosis of leukemias and lymphomas, cellular and gene therapies, regulating patient safety in cancer treatment, non-rhabdo soft tissue sarcomas of childhood, and communicating with patients and families. Many of the previous edition's chapters have been rewritten by new contributors. Also included are up-to-date listings of resources for patients, families, and physicians.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thoroughly updated for its Sixth Edition, "Principles and Practice of Pediatric Oncology" provides a comprehensive review of the multiple disciplines that make up the care and research agendas for children with cancer. It is the most comprehensive textbook of pediatric oncology ever put together, covering biology and genetics and detailing the diagnosis, multimodal treatment, and long-term management of patients with cancer. The fundamental principles of supportive care and the psychosocial aspects of support for patients and families are also discussed.

The book provides state-of-the-art information on the molecular genetics and biology of cancer as well as new approaches to diagnosis and management.
