Much has changed since the first book Paediatric Oncology: Acute
Nursing Care (1999), therefore, this new edition encompasses
these changes in relation to the practice itself and the evidence
that underpins it. Emphasis is placed on ensuring terminology
is accurate, in keeping with the language of the current day.
The book is divided into six sections: Chemotherapy, Haematopoetic Stem Cell Transplantation, General Surgery, Radiotherapy, Late Effects of cancer therapies, and Palliative Care. There is a brief commentary at the end of each section/chapter by a ‘novice’ author but experienced practitioner, highlighting to the reader what is already known and what the section/chapter adds to their current knowledge and practice.
