Abstract:	Written in the popular question-and-answer format of The Secrets Series(c), this text is a convenient, readable, concise introduction to pediatric hematology/oncology. Each chapter emphasizes diagnosis, clinical management, therapeutics, and innovative concepts for the future. Coverage includes experimental therapeutics, bone marrow and stem cell transplants for pediatric patients, and genetic and molecular diagnostics. There is a section addressing quality of life and death issues such as supportive care, psychosocial aspects of care of the child with cancer, palliative care, and management of the dying child. Other chapters relate and differentiate disease entities based upon the patient's age, newborn through adolescent.
