| Summary, etc. | Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease past infancy among children<br/>in the Western world. In the United States in 2014, it is estimated that 15,780<br/>children and adolescents from birth to the age of 19 years will be diagnosed<br/>with cancer and 1960 will die of the disease (Ward et al. 2014). In 1975, only<br/>barely above 50% of children diagnosed with cancer before age 20 years survived more than 5 years (Ries et al. 1999). Since then results have greatly<br/>improved such that in 2004–2010 more than 80% of children diagnosed with<br/>cancer before age 20 years survived at least 5 years (Howlader et al. 2014,<br/>National Cancer Institute, http://www.cancer.gov). Childhood malignancies<br/>include a great variety of different tumor types for most of which multidisciplinary management with a combination of local and systemic treatments is<br/>required for optimal outcomes; for many patients, radiation therapy as local<br/>treatment is an integral component of the therapeutic strategy.<br/>Pediatric malignancies are a challenge for the radiation oncologist due to<br/>their rarity, the great variability of histological subtypes, and the complexity<br/>of treatment concepts that undergo constant modification. Radiation therapy<br/>technologies also undergo a continuous process of optimization and modern<br/>technologies (e.g., intensity-modulated radiotherapy, proton therapy, inclusion of modern imaging in treatment planning, and use of imaging to precisely guide treatment delivery) are rapidly becoming essential in the<br/>management of children and teenagers with malignancies. This book<br/>addresses the most recent developments in radiation therapy with respect to<br/>the different types of childhood malignancies and the use of modern treatment technologies. The chapters also address specific issues in the field of<br/>anesthesia, palliative radiation therapy, and quality of life.<br/>The book is therefore designed to provide a comprehensive overview of<br/>current and future treatment concepts with emphasis on radiation therapy.<br/>Special attention is paid to experiences on past and present trials worldwide<br/>With the increase of the childhood population in low and middle income<br/>countries, specific demands will be put on the management of childhood cancer in an environment with limited access to modern technologies. This book<br/>therefore also addresses aspects for low and middle income countries. |
