Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"Schwartz and her associates are to be commended for producing an excellent second edition … . it certainly exceeds the coverage of other text books in the field. … Most of the chapters are divided into sections. … I found these sections both refreshing and highly complementary to the purely clinical aspects of each chapter. … It will undoubtedly serve as a primary resource for clinicians … and pediatric oncologists … ." (Ching-Hon Pui, The New England Journal of Medicine, September 8, 2005)
