The Surgery of Childhood Tumors

Editat de Robert Carachi, Jay L. Grosfeld
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2018
Beginning with the scientific basis of tumors, this book provides up-to-date information on epidemiology, cytogenetics, and molecular biology, before examining current treatments for the full range of pediatric tumors. Integration of surgery, neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiation therapy is a dominant theme. In addition, chapters on supportive care, palliative care, and the role of parents’ associations reflect the book's holistic approach. 
All chapters are written by world-renowned international authorities on pediatric cancer from major children's cancer groups. Excellent full-color pictures and line drawings illustrate all aspects of managing childhood tumors, including details of operative techniques neglected in many other texts. This comprehensive book, expanded and updated to encompass the very latest developments and strategies, provides a contemporary approach for pediatric, general, and urological surgeons dealing with childhood tumors.

Recenzii

“It is an attempt to stay current with this rapidly changing clinical care area which includes the approximately 15,000 cases of childhood malignancies around the world. … The book is written at a level that can be understood and useful for students, house officers, and practicing pediatric oncologists and surgeons. … This is a large, comprehensive, and excellent update on a difficult and notoriously fast-changing topic in childhood care.” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2017)
