This second edition, which addresses all aspects of radiation therapy of cancer in children, has been expanded, updated and revised to reflect recent significant advances in this complex subspeciality. Numerous case studies are cited, illustrating typical presentations and treatment regimens.
Rigorously updated and revised, this volume is a reference on the indications for and techniques of pediatric radiotherapy. The second edition presents and evaluates the most up-to-date protocols available, incorporating new data from the most recent clinical cooperative group trials. The book reviews the epidemiology, pathology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, staging, prognosis, and multimodality treatment of both common and rare childhood cancers. Balanced consideration is given to all treatment options for each disease, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and combination treatments. The authors offer expert, setting-specific advice on optimal irradiation techniques and recommended dosages, as well as appropriate immobilization devices and anaesthetic agents. Available data on acute toxicities and late effects of cancer treatment, including secondary malignancies, are presented and analyzed - valuable information for guiding referring physicians, patients, and families in their decision making. Illustrations strategically reinforce key patient management principles.
