The outcome for children with cancer has shown enormous improvement
since the first edition of this book was published in 1975. In
economically privileged countries, overall survival rates have now
reached 80% at five years from diagnosis, and most of these young
people will become long term survivors. The Oxford Textbook of
Cancer in Children offers state-of-the-art descriptions of the
approach needed for the optimal management of children with cancer,
and guidance on current treatments available due to the advances
made over the past decade. This seventh edition has been thoroughly
revised and updated, including brand new chapters on cancer
immunotherapy in children, and cancer in adolescents and young
adults, plus expanded treatment of tumours of the brain and central
nervous system. The book primarily provides clear and up-to-date
clinical guidance for use in treatment settings whilst offering a
useful background to the biology of individual tumour types and the
history of the development of specific treatments. With an
international and multi-disciplined authorship comprising of
paediatric oncologists, surgeons, radiotherapists, imaging
specialists, psychologists, nurses, and many others, the text
illustrates how the paediatric oncology community works globally
and collaboratively in order to drive forward new therapies, build
our knowledge of these diseases, and achieve the common aim of
curing childhood cancer. In this new edition, Professors Biondi and
Caron have been joined by Professor Francois Doz, who has a
distinguished international reputation, particularly in the
treatment of childhood brain tumours and retinoblastoma, as well as
early drug development. They have also been joined by Professor Tom
Boterberg, a world renowned radio-oncologist for children with
cancer. This book will be of value to paediatric oncologists,
trainee paediatric oncologists, paediatric haematologists, and
other professionals working in paediatric oncology: nurses, AHPs,
surgeons, and clinical oncologists.
