This edition has new chapters on pathology and molecular diagnosis of leukemias and lymphomas, cellular and gene therapies, regulating patient safety in cancer treatment, non-rhabdo soft tissue sarcomas of childhood, and communicating with patients and families. Many of the previous edition's chapters have been rewritten by new contributors. Also included are up-to-date listings of resources for patients, families, and physicians
