Cancer in Children: Clinical Management (Current Treatment of Cancer) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Cancer is still a relatively rare disease in children. Nevertheless, physicians need to have a general knowledge of the possible aetiology, symptoms, treatment, complications and outcome of cancer in their young patients. This book offers useful information for physicians in a clear presentation of the practical problems of paediatric oncology. The third edition of "Cancer in Children" has been completely updated. It shows how today's fast-moving research is already improving our understanding of oncogenesis and how it can be used in new treatment techniques such as genetic manipulation in children. Other new information regarding epidemiology, radiotherapy, drug treatment and even bone marrow transplantation is also included. The paediatric oncologist, the paediatrician and the general practitioner should all find this book useful.
