This text is the only book of its kind to provide specific guidance
applicable to limited resource settings and builds up from the
foundation of general practitioner or general pediatrician
competence. Written and edited by leaders in the field, this manual
educates physicians on the essential components of the discipline,
filtered through the experience of specialists from developing
countries, with immediate applicability in the specific healthcare
environment in these countries. Typically, manuals of pediatric
hematology-oncology are written by specialists from high-income
countries, and usually target an audience with a sub-specialist
level of training, often assisted by cutting-edge diagnostic and
treatment facilities. However, approximately 80% of new cases of
cancer in children appear in mid- and low-income countries. Almost
invariably, general practitioners or general pediatricians without
special training in oncology will look after children with
malignancies who enter the health care system in these countries.
The diagnostic facilities are usually limited, as are the treatment
options. The survival figures in these conditions are somewhere
below 20%, while in high-income countries they are in the range of
80% for many childhood cancers. This book includes simplified
therapy protocols, pain therapy and palliation, as well as ward
procedures such as bone marrow aspiration/biopsies, intravenous
therapy and chemotherapy drugs mixing. It provides an overview of
pediatric cancer epidemiology, cancer registration and organizing
support networks and features the management of cancers with
associated pathology like AIDS, malnutrition, malaria and
tuberculosis.
