Case Based Scenarios in Pediatric Oncology

Paediatric oncologists have specialist expertise in managing children with cancer. The cancer may be in any location or system including the blood, brain or body, thus making the field a very varied and heterogeneous subspecialty. Presented as a collection of case-based scenarios, this book is the first of three, and is dedicated to haematological cancers.Each case follows a step by step approach, covering history, symptoms, investigation, diagnosis and management. The opinion of an additional expert on how they would have managed the case concludes each chapter.The comprehensive text is further enhanced by images and figures, making this book an invaluable resource for both practising clinicians and trainees preparing for theory and practical examinations.The second title in the series covers solid tumours in children, and the third examines survivorship and late effects.
