Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults

Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults, 2nd Edition, is an academic textbook dedicated to neoplastic disease in adolescents and young adults. The 2017 second edition expands its coverage from ages 15 to 29 to encompass individuals aged 15 through 39 years.

The volume examines disease epidemiology, natural progression, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies across diverse malignancies, highlighting early detection and prevention. It also contrasts adolescent and young adult management directly with methods used for younger and older patient groups.

Used in higher education institutions, the volume provides extensive references intended for clinicians, researchers, and allied professionals across oncology subspecialties, nursing, psycho-oncology, and public health.
