This is the third edition of a well-received compendium of
information and guidance on the diagnosis and management of the
various oncological diseases that are encountered in children and
adolescents. In the new edition a chapter on Rare Tumors was added.
For each disease entity, fundamental facts are provided that will
be relevant for a range of professionals - hospital physicians,
specialist nurses, psycho-oncologists, physiotherapists, family
doctors and pediatricians. Compared with the first edition all
chapters have been updated. Throughout, rapid orientation is
ensured by the clear, consistent layout and the concise, lucid
style. Pediatric Oncology: A Comprehensive Guide is an excellent,
easy-to-use reference that belongs on the shelf of every
practitioner who encounters or treats malignancies in the pediatric
age group. Pediatric Oncology is teamwork! Fundamental facts for
all those involved in diagnosis and management - even social
worker, pedagogic teachers, religious care persons.
"Cancer Genomics" addresses how recent technological advances in
genomics are shaping how we diagnose and treat cancer. Built on the
historical context of cancer genetics over the past 30 years, the
book provides a snapshot of the current issues and state-of-the-art
technologies used in cancer genomics. Subsequent chapters highlight
how these approaches have informed our understanding of hereditary
cancer syndromes and the diagnosis, treatment and outcome in a
variety of adult and pediatric solid tumors and hematologic
malignancies. The dramatic increase in cancer genomics research and
ever-increasing availability of genomic testing are not without
significant ethical issues, which are addressed in the context of
the return of research results and the legal considerations
underlying the commercialization of genomic discoveries. Finally,
the book concludes with "Future Directions," examining the next
great challenges to face the field of cancer genomics, namely the
contribution of non-coding RNAs to disease pathogenesis and the
interaction of the human genome with the environment.
Tools such as sidebars, key concept summaries, a glossary, and
acronym and abbreviation definitions make this book highly
accessible to researchers from several fields associated with
cancer genomics.Contributions from thought leaders provide valuable
historical perspective to relate the advances in the field to
current technologies and literature.

Each chapter will focus on the known molecular characteristics of
specific childhood cancers, focusing on how the molecular 'drivers'
can be exploited from a therapeutic standpoint with currently
available targeted agents. Where applicable, integration of
targeted therapies with conventional cytotoxic agents will be
considered. This volume will provide a comprehensive summary of
molecular characteristics of childhood cancers, and how the changes
involved in transformation provide us with opportunities for
developing relatively less toxic, but curative, therapies.
