Approaches to long-term follow-up include both established models of care and targeted models of lifelong surveillance of late effects by bodily systems and neurological outcomes. Sections devoted to quality of life and re-entry after treatment focus on key concerns such as health risk behaviors, school and career issues, psychological challenges, and care disparities. And a robust resources section adds extra usefulness to the expert coverage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong the \u003ci\u003eHandbook'\u003c\/i\u003es topics: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Developmental considerations in the transition from child and adolescent to adult survivorship. \u003cbr\u003e- Long-term follow-up roadmaps by disease and treatment. \u003cbr\u003e- Neuropsychological effects of pediatric brain tumors and associated treatment. \u003cbr\u003e- Building resiliency in childhood cancer survivors: aclinician's perspective. \u003cbr\u003e- School issues and educational strategies for survivors of childhood cancer. \u003cbr\u003e- Educating and preparing the childhood cancer survivor for long-term care: a curriculum model for cancer centers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA work of rare scope, scholarship, and clinical acumen, the \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Long-Term Care of the Childhood Cancer Survivor\u003c\/i\u003e is a rewarding, practice-building resource essential to a wide range of healing professionals, including primary care physicians, pediatricians, oncologists, nurses, psychologists, neuropsychologists, child psychologists, and licensed therapists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grace A.
