Reviews
From the reviews:
"A comprehensive review of cancer in adolescents between the ages of 15 and 20. … It is written for students, residents, or practitioners, whether they are general pediatricians, nurses, pediatric oncologists, or other pediatric subspecialists … . This outstanding book should be a part of every pediatric library. … an important and beautifully written and illustrated book and is the only one I am aware of that addresses the issue of cancer in adolescents and young adults. … a must read for pediatric specialists."
