This issue concentrates on the current evidence and the collected experience of pediatric oncologists who care for cancer patients. The individual articles will provide the general pediatrician with a comprehensive primer on diagnosing and managing various types of cancers in the child with cancer. A cancer diagnosis is no longer a death sentence, so management and monitoring is very important and covered in every article.
