The purpose of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Advances in Pediatric
Oncology for the Cancer Treatment and Research Series is to provide
an up-to-date summary of how recent advances in cancer research are
being applied to the care of children with solid tumors. The
interface of cancer research with clinical practice in pediatric
oncology has never been more intimate than today. While researchers
are identifying oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and are
studying their specific functions, clinicians are using knowledge
of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes for diagnosing cancer in
children, for therapeutic decision-making purposes, and for
prognostic purposes. The first three chapters in this book describe
models for understanding the causes of childhood cancer that were
perhaps initially identified by clinicians and that are now being
studied and understood by researchers. These chapters will describe
research evidence that supports roles for the involvement of normal
developmental regulatory genes in childhood oncogenesis, of
abnormal immune regulation in childhood oncogenesis, and of
heredity in childhood oncogenesis. The next eight chapters are
devoted to descriptions of the appli cation of new research
developments to clinical practice with reference to the most common
forms of solid tumors of childhood outside the central nervous
system. The final chapter will describe late effects of childhood
cancer and its therapy and the impact research is having on
understanding and perhaps preventing these late effects.
