Genetic Predisposition to Cancer (Hodder Arnold Publication) [Hardcover] Rosalind A. Eeles (Author), Douglas F. Easton (Author), Bruce A. J. Ponder (Author), Charis Eng (Author). This is the second textbook in recent years to provide a comprehensive assessment of the evolving field of pediatric neuro-oncology. Before the publication of this book and Tumors of the Pediatric Central Nervous System (R.F. Keating, et al. Stuttgart, Germany: Thieme, 2001), there had not been an inclusive review of this topic since the early 1990s. In contrast to Tumors of the Pediatric Central Nervous System, whose editors reside in the United States (along with most of the authors), Brain and Spinal Tumors of Childhood is edited and largely authored by experts from outside the United States. For this reason, it offers a more international perspective on the field. The book is divided into six major sections. In addition to the anticipated chapters on the major neuro-oncologic diagnoses of childhood, there are sections on epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment planning, treatment techniques, late sequelae, and supportive care. Chapter 2, which gives a brief time line and pictorial presentation highlighting the historical basis of neuro-oncology, is unusual.
