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 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 the book describe
models for understanding the causes of childhood cancer which were
perhaps initially identified by clinicians and which are now being
studied and understood by researchers. These chapters describe
research evidence supporting roles for 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 application of new research
developments to clinical practice in the most common forms of solid
tumors of childhood outside the central nervous system. The final
chapter describes late effects of childhood cancer and its therapy
and the impact research is having on understanding and perhaps
preventing these late effects. The emphasis on bridging research
developments with clinical practice makes this book a unique
resource for researchers and clinicians as the application of
research developments to clinical practice increases and as
clinical observations are studied with modern research tools.
