Tumors in Adolescents and Young Adults (Progress in Tumor Research, Vol. 43) (PDF)

Tumors in Adolescents and Young Adults is a guide for clinicians and health professionals managing adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer in Europe. The book emphasizes collaboration between adult and pediatric specialists and covers cross-cutting issues such as disease epidemiology, systems of care, access to innovative therapy, and late effects of treatment and survivorship for AYA-onset cancers. It also discusses the latest developments and most important cancer types for AYA, including the shared perspectives of adult and pediatric specialists. Recurrent challenges to the AYA community are exposed throughout the book and solutions are proposed. The book is recommended for any oncologist or hematologist treating patients aged 15 to 39 diagnosed with cancer and will be of interest to other members of the multidisciplinary teams involved with this patient group.
