Description

"This Atlas provides a comprehensive illustrated guide to pediatric oncology as seen worldwide, emphasizing clinical features and diagnosis. Structured according to tumor type, the book takes a consistent approach to each entity, presenting definitions, brief data on epidemiology and staging, and carefully selected illustrations of the clinical, macroscopic, microscopic and, where relevant, ultrastructural and histochemical features of childhood cancers. The spectrum of modern multimodality imaging is represented, including plain roentgenograms, computed tomography scans, nuclear medicine scans, ultrasound and magnetic resonance images." "A more comprehensive, less succinct discussion of practical problems, specific treatment regimens, and the early and late complications of combined modality therapy are provided in the companion, Practical Pediatric Oncology, also published by Arnold." "Atlas of Pediatric Oncology and Practical Pediatric Oncology will be invaluable for all those involved in the care of children with cancer, including clinical oncologists, pediatricians, radiologists and radiation oncologists."--BOOK JACKET.
