Survivors of Childhood and Adolescent Cancer

A concise guide to the recognition, understanding and management of childhood cancer. The text has been written by a multidisciplinary author team. It is particularly well suited 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. The symptom-specific tables and disease-specific algorithms make this reference easy to use in clinical settings.
