Produktbeschreibung

This textbook examines the depth of late-1990s practices and advances in the nursing of a child with cancer. Divided into four sections, the book addresses four modalities of treatment: chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and bone-marrow transplant. Each of the four sections looks at specific areas including symptom management, complications and late effects. Throughout, the book information boxes give useful guidance in good practice in this developing specialism.
