This is the first comprehensive book devoted exclusively to cancer in adolescents and young adults. It compiles medical, epidemiological, biological, psychological, and emotional issues of young adults’ oncology. The emphasis is on the differences of the "same" cancer in younger and older patients. Model programs specially designed to care for patients in the age group and surveillance of long-term adverse effects are reviewed.

Review
From the reviews:
"A comprehensive review of cancer in adolescents between the ages of 15 and 20. ... It is written for students, residents, or practitioners, whether they are general pediatricians, nurses, pediatric oncologists, or other pediatric subspecialists ... . This outstanding book should be a part of every pediatric library. ... an important and beautifully written and illustrated book and is the only one I am aware of that addresses the issue of cancer in adolescents and young adults. ... a must read for pediatric specialists." (Douglas Moodie, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2008)
