New insights into the molecular biology of childhood leukemias have stimulated numerous advances in diagnostic methods, strategies for risk assessment and the development of novel therapy for genetic subtypes of the diseases. Fully revised and updated, this new edition of Childhood Leukemias provides the most comprehensive, clinically-oriented and authoritative reference dedicated to these diseases. Beginning with an overview of history, cell biology, and pathology, subsequent chapters review approaches in the evaluation and management of specific leukemias, new therapeutic development and the unique pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics of individual patients. New chapters include epigenetics of leukemias, leukemias in patients with Down syndrome and leukemia in adolescents and young adults. The final section covers the complications associated with the disease or its treatment and supportive care during and after treatment. Authored by leading experts, this is a 'must-have' for any physician or investigator who deals with leukemias in childhood.

Reviews for Childhood Leukemias

Review of the previous editions: '... comprehensively referenced and the indexing is simple to use ... informative and relevant ... I would commend the book to anyone looking for an up-to-date and comprehensive reference monograph on childhood leukaemia.' The Bulletin of The Royal College of Pathologists 'This is an exceptional book that's highly extensive in coverage of the very complex field of leukemias among children and to some extent, adolescents. The information in it is presented well, and written very clearly. The fact that it is in its third edition speaks for itself. The first and second editions had to have been successful by providing great value in terms of not just the knowledge but also its ease of use.'
