Childhood Leukemia: A Practical Handbook: Pediatric Oncology

Editat de Gregory H. Reaman, Franklin O. Smith

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2014

This book is a comprehensive and up-to-date compendium on all aspects of childhood leukemia. After introductory chapters on the epidemiology and biology of pediatric leukemia, treatment considerations are extensively reviewed, with emphasis on the use of risk-adjusted treatment approaches. Promising targeted agents are discussed, and strategies for the development of new agents are appraised. The late effects of leukemia and its therapy are then considered in depth, with due attention to management of the psychosocial impact of the disease. Finally, global strategies to improve leukemia care and outcome are reviewed, and future directions discussed. The authors are internationally recognized experts and offer a largely evidence-based consensus on etiology, biology, and treatment. This handbook has far-reaching applicability to the clinical diagnosis and management of pediatric leukemia and will prove invaluable to specialists, generalists, and trainees alike.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
“This comprehensive book presents current information on childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). … the book appears to be written for practitioners in pediatric oncology, particularly those who specialize in leukemias. … The combination of clinical and basic knowledge is the best thing about this book. … This book offers the most up-to-date information on childhood acute leukemias comprehensively and concisely. I would recommend it to fellows and junior faculty who want to learn about childhood leukemia in depth.” (Nobuko Hijiya, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2011)

This book is a comprehensive and up-to-date compendium on all aspects of childhood acute lymphoblastic and acute myeloid leukemia, which together constitute the most frequent cancer in the pediatric age group. After introductory chapters on the epidemiology and biology of pediatric leukemia, treatment considerations are extensively reviewed, with emphasis on the use of risk-adjusted treatment approaches. Promising targeted agents are discussed, and strategies for the development of new agents are appraised. The late effects of leukemia and its therapy are then considered in depth, with due attention to management of the psychosocial impact of the disease. Finally, global strategies to improve leukemia care and outcome are reviewed, and future directions discussed. The authors are internationally recognized experts and offer a largely evidence-based consensus on etiology, biology, and treatment. This handbook has far-reaching applicability to the clinical diagnosis and management of pediatric leukemia and will prove invaluable to specialists, generalists, and trainees alike.
