"The editors...have done an outstanding job of presenting...complex
information in a lucid manner - this book is a must-read for the
global community of aspiring students and neuro-oncology
practitioners." Amar Gajjar, MD in the Foreword This is a succinct
introduction to pediatric neuro-oncology. It summarizes the key
advances in molecular biology that have helped transform this
rapidly evolving field and provides up-to-date coverage of major
and emerging treatment modalities as well as supportive care.
Separate chapters present each kind of pediatric brain cancer and
its diagnosis and treatment. As more children survive brain cancer,
the importance of quality of life issues and helping survivors to
cope with the neuropsychological impact and long-term effects of
current therapies has come into sharper focus; these topics are
also addressed in the book, as are palliative care and pediatric
neuro-oncology in countries with limited resources. The book is
aimed at trainees and practitioners who seek an up-to-date text in
pediatric neuro-oncology that is both comprehensive and concise.
Pediatric oncology is a considerably complex discipline requiring
frequent need for reference material. Emergencies in Pediatric
Oncology meets this objective by serving as a concise, practical
resource for the hurried physician. Replete with diagrams and
written in a clear, succinct style, this title offers an
easy-to-read guide especially useful for residents, fellows, and
nurses. Providing an overview of the epidemiology of childhood
cancer and the history of its treatment, this title also addresses
a range of key problems in the pediatric oncologic setting,
covering the most common emergencies and providing short, practical
guidelines on how to handle them. Written by authorities from an
array of disciplines, this helpful resource provides answers and
concrete guidance and is a valuable contribution to the literature
in pediatric oncology.
