A propos de cet article

Management of childhood cancer involves knowledge of multiple specialties and skillsets. Case-based learning, originating at Harvard Business School in 1920, is a well-established educational method. A good working definition of case-based learning in medical practice is by Thistlewaite et al. ""The goal of case-based learning is to prepare students for clinical practice, through the use of authentic clinical cases. Case-based learning provides students with an opportunity to see theory in practice and real cases expose them to multiple opinions and counter points"". Key Features Chapters have been authored by the Pediatric Oncology Superspecialty Students under the guidance of the faculty at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India. Discusses the approach to the management of challenging cases in clinical practice that would benefit postgraduates and fellows pursuing a super-specialization course in pediatric oncology.

Synopsis

Paediatric oncologists have specialist expertise in managing children with cancer. The cancer may be in any location or system including the blood, brain or body, thus making the field a very varied and heterogeneous subspecialty. 

Presented as a collection of case-based scenarios, this book is the first of three, and is dedicated to haematological cancers.

Each case follows a step by step approach, covering history, symptoms, investigation, diagnosis and management. The opinion of an additional expert on how they would have managed the case concludes each chapter.

The comprehensive text is further enhanced by images and figures, making this book an invaluable resource for both practising clinicians and trainees preparing for theory and practical examinations.

The second title in the series covers solid tumours in children, and the third examines survivorship and late effects.
