Book synopsis

Although rare, brain tumors are the most common solid tumor in children. Each year in the United States, nearly 3,500 children and adolescents under the age of 20 are diagnosed with a primary brain tumor. Brain tumors in children are very different from those arising in adults and vary from one another with respect to age at diagnosis, aggressiveness, and location. Children with brain tumors are cared for by an extremely diverse and truly multidisciplinary team of clinicians, including pediatric neuro-oncologists, pediatric neurosurgeons, neuropathologists, neuroradiologists, neuropsychologists, pediatric radiation oncologists, and palliative care physicians. As more children survive brain cancer, the long term effects of treatment are coming to light, including impact on neurocognitive function, and as a result, there is greater appreciation of after care what care is needed after the cure. Edited and contributed by outstanding international authorities in pediatric brain tumors, this book will be both state-of-the-art and clinically focused and provide comprehensive yet succinct coverage of the field, from diagnosis and treatment to after care for all pediatric brain cancers and including clinically relevant reviews of the basic science of pediatric brain tumors and of developmental neurobiology. It is aimed at fellows, practitioners, nurses, and social workers.
