Produktbeschreibung

This is the first comprehensive book devoted exclusively to cancer from age 15 to 2, including epidemiology and the general differences in prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment are presented. The 15 most common categories of cancers in the age group regarding their epidemiologic, risk factors/etiology, presenting symptoms and signs, diagnostic workup, treatment, survival outcomes, and adverse effects are each covered in separate chapters. The emphasis is on how the cancer in the age group differs from the 'same' cancer in younger and older patients. Model programs specifically designed to care for patients in the age group and surveillance of long-term adverse effects are reviewed. This book should be of interest to practitioners, researchers and students in pediatric oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, gynecologic oncology, oncology nursing, social work, epidemiology, public health, and health services research.
