A review of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in children and adolescents. The topic covers the clinical presentation, evaluation (including laboratory tests and bone marrow examination), and the context of improved survival rates compared to ALL/LBL.
This series provides up-to-date information on important topics in pediatric oncology, covering the entire spectrum of clinical management, including diagnosis, treatment, radiation oncology, supportive care, and survivorship, aiming to equip readers with the latest knowledge relevant to daily practice.
This book presents international experience in the diagnosis of pediatric tumors, focusing on small volume biopsy techniques. It details the use of fine-needle aspiration and core needle biopsy, integrating cytology, histology, and molecular investigation with clinical and radiological information.
A comprehensive textbook dedicated to the excellence in research, scholarship, and education concerning the diagnosis and clinical management of cancer in children.
Analyzes the role of genetic risk factors and germline pathogenic variants in the etiology of childhood cancers. It discusses the current limitations and findings of genome-wide sequencing efforts (which attribute about 15% of cases to germline variants) and explores evolving technologies investigating non-coding regions and emerging mechanisms.
A comprehensive review of immunotherapy strategies, including monoclonal antibodies, stem cell transplantation, and methods for overcoming immune suppression, used in the treatment of pediatric cancers and hematological malignancies.
A comprehensive textbook detailing the principles and clinical application of radiation therapy for pediatric patients with cancer and other relevant conditions.
This book addresses the growing group of long-term childhood cancer survivors, focusing on the late effects and chronic diseases they develop as a consequence of their cancer and treatment. It emphasizes that about 80% of children survive cancer, but a large proportion will suffer from varied late effects, necessitating critical long-term follow-up and individualized care plans based on risk profiles.
This book provides a modern and comprehensive analysis of retinoblastoma, detailing its historical context (e.g., the two-hit hypothesis), the role of the retinoblastoma pathway in cancer development, and modern treatment modalities. It emphasizes the multidisciplinary approach necessary for ocular salvage, assessment of visual outcomes, and the development of new targeted therapies for this challenging malignancy.
This chapter analyzes the epidemiology of cancer in children and adolescents (patients under 20 years), detailing incidence rates, relative survival improvements (up to 85.1%), and the continued role of malignant neoplasms as a leading cause of disease-related mortality in this age group. It contrasts pediatric malignancies, dominated by lymphohematopoietic and CNS cancers, with typical adult epithelial tumors.
This foundational textbook provides detailed, evidence-based coverage of the biology, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant diseases in children. It includes updated protocols for chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgical intervention, and long-term survivorship management.
A guideline and pocket guide for drug therapy and chemotherapy protocols in neonates and infants (under 1 year old). It assists physicians and healthcare professionals by detailing drug metabolism, excretion, toxicity, dose adjustments, and safe treatment practices based on the patient's specific age (week or month).

This review discusses recent advances in understanding paraneoplastic syndromes (PNSs) in neuro-ophthalmology, focusing on the immune response triggered by aberrant expression of onconeuronal antigens. It highlights the use of FDG/PET-CT scanning in diagnosing occult tumors, new antibody associations (e.g., anti-CV2/CRMP-5), identification of novel antigens associated with melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR), and updated treatment options including calcium-channel blockers, alemtuzumab, and rituximab. The necessity of a high index of suspicion for early diagnosis and improved prognosis is emphasized.
I kept the well-supported assertions from the earlier edition and added essential new information. The most important changes involved diagnostic considerations as we head for DSM-V and ICD-11. Treatment suggestions are updated with more attention to the formulations needed for helping complex, ‘real world’ cases. I also updated the emotional information processing theory.
This document is a solved question paper for the M.D. Paediatrics Summer 2014 postgraduate examination. It covers major topics including medical emergencies in the labor room, neonatal anemia, Rh-incompatibilities, social issues (flood effects on children, child rights, adoption), and clinical management of premature baby feeding, hypernatremia, immunization in immunocompromised patients, neonatal resuscitation, and delayed puberty.
This publication summarizes presentations given at symposia regarding the expanding applications of the Pentacam Comprehensive Eye Scanner. Topics covered include using the Pentacam for densitometry in cataract diagnosis, corneal topography in premium cataract surgery, screening candidates for refractive surgery, calculating IOL power after keratorefractive surgery, and detecting forme fruste keratoconus.
This volume explores the crucial and complex role of trust between patients and providers in the oncology setting. It is published as Volume 5 of the Psychiatry Update series, covering psychiatric research and clinical diagnosis and treatment.
The Computational Biology series publishes the latest high-quality research devoted to computer-assisted analysis of biological data, focusing on methods from mathematics, statistics, and computer science that directly address current biological problems.
An atlas detailing the surgical anatomy around the orbit using a system of zones. It covers anatomical structures, including facial bones and cranial nerves, relevant to reconstructive and ophthalmic surgery.
A quick review guide focusing on essential concepts and mnemonics in hematology, designed specifically for medical students preparing for the French National Ranking Examination (ECN/EDN).
This text explores the convergence of Critical Care Medicine and Hematology, detailing the intensive care required for patients dealing with life-threatening complications related to hematological diseases and associated conditions like sepsis, addressing the need for specialized care in Hematology ICUs.
