This comprehensive book offers an in-depth exploration of the latest surgical techniques and management strategies in paediatric cancer care. Designed for both practicing and trainee physicians, the textbook serves as a vital resource for those treating childhood cancer patients in diverse healthcare settings—from high-resource hospitals to limited-resource environments.

Drawing on their extensive global experience, Professor Lakhoo and colleagues present a uniform approach to tumour-specific cases, guiding readers through patient evaluation, pre-operative planning, and post-operative care. The book also delves into multidisciplinary management principles and palliative care, supported by rich visual content including photographs and illustrations that enhance understanding of open, endoscopic, and robotic surgical methods.

Pediatric Surgical Oncology is available in both eBook and hardcover formats via the Springer Nature website.
