内容説明

Childhood leukemias represent nearly one third of all cancers in children and present a unique challenge to oncologists, pediatricians, hematologists, and other health professionals. Dr Ching-Hon Pui has assembled an expert team of authors to develop the most comprehensive, clinically-oriented, and authoritative reference dedicated to these diseases. Childhood Leukemias moves from the laboratory bench to the patient bedside in three easily-accessible sections. Part one presents an in-depth review of topics needed to understand the pathobiology of leukemia. Part two builds upon this scientific foundation by explaining practical approaches to clinical diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment. The final section outlines major clinical complications which arise during and after treatment. Chapters on supportive care, psychosocial issues, and nursing will also interest general practitioners and nurses. The entire text is supplemented by numerous tables and figures. Fully referenced and up-to-date, Childhood Leukemias is an absolute 'must-have' for any physician or investigator who deals with leukemias in childhood.
