内容説明

In this text a multi-disciplinary group of specialists in the field present information and guidelines on every aspect of paediatric cancer - from molecular biology to diagnosis, multimodal therapy, and psychological support of the child. Highlights of this third edition include new chapters on gene therapy and novel molecular approaches to treatment, on the role of haematopoietic cytokines in supportive care, and on preventing cancer during adulthood.
