ESMO Handbook of Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults (PDF)

Description

The treatment of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer has long been hotly debated between paediatric and adult oncologists, each discipline following its own management strategies and guidelines. No longer! Experts from the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the European Society for Paediatric Oncology Society (SIOP Europe) have joined forces, not only in a dedicated AYA Working Group, but also to write this educational book specifically focusing on all aspects of AYA oncology.
The ESMO Handbook of Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults describes the major types of malignancy which might occur during this transitional phase of life. It provides diagnostic and therapeutic guidance and also gives an idea of life after cancer. ESMO and SIOP Europe share the same goal: that no young person should have to die of cancer.
