Editorial Reviews

Review

This is the first book that addresses the issues of quality of life for children with cancer including conceptual/theoretical issues, measurement, and how the QOL is affected throughout treatment, from diagnosis to long-term survival. This book will help multidisciplinary health care professionals in dealing with complex and difficult problems of pediatric oncology patients, their parents and healthy siblings. This is a very practical work for all health care professionals….highly recommended.

—Infant and Child Development Journal

The major strength of the book is the broad overview of the psychosocial issues related to childhood cancer. All aspects are extensively reviewed, resulting in a literature list of more than 700 references….Children with Cancer is a useful reference book. It provides the reader with a broad understanding of all different aspects related to childhood cancer from the child itself to the wider family.

—Quality of Life Research

The book is written as a resource for all those involved in the treatment of children with cancer. Eiser writes clearly, without unnecessary jargon, and the book is accessible to the non-specialist. Those who do read the book will gain a deeper appreciation of the issues that children and their families face during and after treatment. Readers will also gain a deeper appreciation of the difficulties of doing research in quality-of-life for children with cancer.
