Endocrinopathy After Childhood Cancer Treatment (2009)

Description: This volume brings together two editors, Dr. Hamish Wallace, an oncologist,
and Prof. Christopher Kelnar, an endocrinologist, who work closely together at
the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh, UK. They have assembled an
impressive list of international contributors to discuss experiences and review the
latest scientific advances on key clinical topics related to childhood cancer therapy.
As written in the Preface, this is a field which is constantly evolving and this
volume offers a very relevant update. The editors have carefully put the care of the
patient first and the chapters, which cover all the important areas of late-effects
endocrinopathy, examine the evidence-base which is now available to optimize
long-term care of childhood cancer survivors.
I am delighted to welcome this volume to the Endocrine Development series.
It makes an excellent contribution to the series which it has been my privilege to
edit during the last 7 years
