Cancer in children and young people : acute nursing care

Recent years have seen a great deal of change in Pediatric Oncology in practice and the evidence that underpins it. "Cancer in Children and Young People" provides an extensive resource for Oncology practitioners.

Divided into six distinct sections, the book covers Chemotherapy, Haematopoetic Stem Cell Transplantation, General Surgery, Radiotherapy, Late Effects of cancer therapies, and Palliative Care.

At the end of each section/chapter, experienced practitioners will offer a brief commentary, highlighting to the reader what is already known and what the section/chapter adds to our current knowledge and practice. "Cancer in Children and Young People" will be an excellent reference for Nurses working in paediatric Oncology centres, paediatric shared care hospitals, community children s nurses, and other health practitioners working with young people.
