Index

Thoroughly updated for its Sixth Edition, Principles and Practice of Pediatric Oncology provides a comprehensive review of the multiple disciplines that make up the care and research agendas for children with cancer. It is the most comprehensive textbook of pediatric oncology ever put together, covering biology and genetics and detailing the diagnosis, multimodal treatment, and long-term management of patients with cancer. The fundamental principles of supportive care and the psychosocial aspects of support for patients and families are also discussed.

The book has five general sections: "Basic Issues in Pediatric Oncology," "Diagnosis and Evaluation of the Child with Cancer," "Principles of Multimodal Therapy," "Management of Common Cancers of Childhood," "Supportive Care of Children with Cancer," and "Other Issues Arising at Diagnosis, during Therapy, and after Cessation of Therapy." Each of these sections includes a chapter on every conceivable relevant topic. In this way, the editors create a structure that ensures that nothing will be left out. Although this inevitably leads to considerable redundancy, it enables each chapter to stand alone and to deliver as complete a review as the title promises. A welcome reorganization of the section on basic issues has led to a series of six excellent chapters; all of them will be enormously useful to trainees and to mature pediatric oncologists who have not been able to keep up with every aspect of basic science.

Twenty percent of the chapters in this edition are either brand-new or written by new contributors, and all the other chapters have been considerably updated. The book provides state-of-the-art information on the molecular genetics and biology of cancer as well as new approaches to diagnosis and management.
A companion website offers the fully searchable text.
