Cancer in Children is an established and highly regarded introduction to paediatric oncology. In a clear and concise way, it covers the aetiology, symptoms, and treatment of cancer in children, the complications that can arise during treatment, and the various outcomes of the illness.
This new edition brings together an international group of highly respected editors and contributors to provide evidence-based information on how to investigate and treat the common cancers in childhood. State-of-the-art descriptions of what is basic and essential for management is included; there are new chapters on clinical trials, evidence based practice, the treatment of cancer in less well-resourced countries, stem cell and immunotherapy, other malignant / borderline haematological conditions (myelodysplasia and myeloproliferative disorders), and on imaging. These all reflect important changes in the focus of the speciality in recent years.
Aimed at paediatric oncologists, and trainees in oncology and paediatrics, this leading text will also appeal to paediatric nurses, cancer nurses, and paramedical paediatric staff.

Reviews
This fourth edition is a necessary modern review of paediatric malignancies and their management. It has been carefully reviewed and updated by leading figures in their disease specific fields... the book can be highly recommended for its homogenous high quality chapters and well balanced approach, and will be required reading for all trainees and consultants involved in the care of paediatric oncology patients... it represents one of the most up to date and useful reviews in paediatric oncology.
