Focuses on leukemias, lymphomas, and other blood cancers in children. Highlights genetic and molecular profiling, targeted therapies, immunotherapy approaches, and stem cell transplantation.


Oncologic Emergencies in Pediatrics:

Covers acute life-threatening conditions such as tumor lysis syndrome, spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, and hyperleukocytosis. Emphasizes rapid recognition and urgent multidisciplinary management.


Palliative and Supportive Care in Pediatric Oncology:
