Product Description

Today, three-quarters of children and adolescents with cancer survive. Survivors are predisposed by their treatment to health problems that may not become apparent until they mature or begin to age. For healthcare providers who manage childhood cancer survivors in long-term follow-up programs, and for those providers who are increasingly likely to encounter childhood cancer survivors in their practices, this book is a comprehensive guide to the health issues in survivorship. The symptom-specific tables and disease-specific algorithms make this reference easy to use in clinical settings.

About the Author
From the reviews of the second edition:"Schwartz and her associates are to be commended for producing an excellent second edition . it certainly exceeds the coverage of other text books in the field. Most of the chapters are divided into sections. I found these sections both refreshing and highly complementary to the purely clinical aspects of each chapter. should be congratulated for compiling and editing this much-needed book. It will undoubtedly serve as a primary resource for clinicians and pediatric oncologists ." (Ching-Hon Pui, The NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL of MEDICINE, September 8, 2005)
