About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The most important feature of this well-written book is its description of some of the rare tumors seen in the pediatric population that are not described in standard textbooks. The authors wish to describe these rare tumors, many of which go undiagnosed, to emphasize the importance of taking them into account while making a diagnosis. … The book is appropriate for residents, fellows, and even practicing clinicians. … overall this is a good, concise review of some very rare pediatric tumors and malignancies.” (Surabhi Batra, Doody’s Review Service, January, 2013)
“A very well illustrated text, easy to read and very informative. The quality of the photographs in particular are first class; enabling the reader to gain insight into the sometimes devastating and tragic problems encountered by this group of young patients. It has drawn together a wealth of experience from the world’s leading paediatric-oncologists. I would recommend its use to both paediatricians and oncologists. This book is a must for the library!” (Karin Baria, Oncology News, Vol. 8 (1), March/April, 2013)
