Pediatric Oncologic Pharmacy

A Complete Guide to Practice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The first book to focus on pediatric oncology for pharmacists comes to its second edition. This edition brings updates to include new drugs, approaches, and techniques, as well as new chapters, such as Post-Pandemic Pediatric Oncology Pharmacy, Cardiotoxicity in Pediatric Oncohematology, and Pediatric Oncological and Hematological Treatment of Children in Hormone Therapy for Gender Dysphoria."

Publications on chemotherapy in children are still scarce, and pharmacists often struggle to find the information they need because it is spread across many articles, not published, or dispersed among clinical information aimed at other professionals. Pediatric Oncologic Pharmacy is an area where increasingly specific knowledge is required in daily practice. Oncopediatric books do not address topics unique to pharmacy such as the handling of cytotoxic drugs for children, analysis of oncopediatric prescriptions, clinical pharmacy in oncopediatrics, pharmaceutical care in the oncopediatric area, and other subjects that are of exclusive interest to these professionals, but no less essential for excellent therapy. Addressing this need, the purpose of this second edition is to be an updated guideline for all subjects that pediatric oncology pharmacists need to know to work in this area.

It is an essential guide for pediatric oncology pharmacists, clinical pharmacists, pharmaceutical residents who work with drug therapy in children, and pharmaceutical researchers. It is a handbook to assist in daily practice and is essential to Pediatric Oncology/Hematology Institutions.
