520 1 $a"Physicians and families have become aware that cancer has huge implications for the quality of the child's life. Children with Cancer: The Quality of Life is an attempt to describe how quality of life is affected at different stages of the disease process. Comprehensive reviews are provided of the impact on the child's physical activity, social life, and school and educational achievements. Special consideration is given to children with leukemia (one of the more common cancers) and brain tumors." "Cancer not only affects the child but every member of the family. Consequently, there is coverage of cancer's effects on parents and on healthy brothers and sisters. To the extent that improvements in survival have been achieved by national and international collaboration between clinicans, it is concluded that efforts to improve the quality of these children's lives is dependent on collaboration between clinicians, nurses, and behavioral scientists at national and international levels. This book provides an impetus for such collaboration."--BOOK JACKET.
