Description: Handbook of Long Term Care of the Childhood Cancer Survivor, Paperback by Mucci, Grace A. (EDT); Torno, Lilibeth R. (EDT), ISBN 1489978712, ISBN-13 9781489978714, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This authoritative reference examines in depth the myriad challenges facing pediatric cancer survivors and proposes a robust framework for structured follow-up of these patients through adulthood. Approaches to long-term follow-up include both established models of care and targeted models of lifelong surveillance of late effects by bodily systems and neurological outcomes. Sections devoted to quality of life and re-entry after treatment focus on key concerns such as health risk behaviors, school and career issues, psychological challenges, and care disparities. And a robust resources section adds extra usefulness to the expert coverage.
Among the Handbooks topics:
•Developmental considerations in the transition from child and adolescent to adult survivorship.
•Long-term follow-up roadmaps by disease and treatment.
•Neuropsychological effects of pediatric brain tumors and associated treatment.
•Building resiliency in childhood cancer survivors: a clinician’s perspective.
•School issues and educational strategies for survivors of childhood cancer.
•Educating and preparing the childhood cancer survivor for long-term care: a curriculum model for cancer centers.
A work of rare scope, scholarship, and clinical acumen, the Handbook of Long-Term Care of the Childhood Cancer Survivor is a rewarding, practice-building resource essential to a wide range of healing professionals, including primary care physicians, pediatricians, oncologists, nurses, psychologists, neuropsychologists, child psychologists, and licensed therapists.
