Pediatric Radiation Oncology 5th Edition (2010) (PDF) by Edward C. Halperin

Description

Established since 1986 as the definitive text and reference on use of radiation therapy for childhood cancer, Pediatric Radiation Oncology is now in its thoroughly revised and updated Fifth Edition. This edition reviews all significant recent clinical trials—including, for the first time, significant European clinical trials—and provides increased coverage of international and Third World issues. The latest cancer staging guidelines are included. New chapters cover psychosocial aspects of radiotherapy for the child and family and medical management of pain, nausea, nutritional problems, and blood count depression in the child with cancer. This edition also has full-color illustrations throughout.

Each specific tumor type is covered in a chapter that can be read in one sitting. For each tumor type, the book provides complete information on diagnostic techniques, staging, treatment strategy, and when and how to employ radiation therapy. The authors discuss current patient management options and provide recommendations on the best course of treatment.

User’s Reviews

Overall I think this is a terrific book. For those who treat children with radiation, it is an important update from the 4th edition which, while good at the time, is largely out of date.

The one frustrating part of this book is that most references are not listed in the back of the chapters. Rather, one has to go on-line to look up the references on the book’s website. It is an extraordinarily annoying aspect of this otherwise wonderful resource.

Great and needed for my job, it is a good resource. I would recommend this to a friend or coworker
