Abstract

This book is essential reading for all healthcare professionals working in paediatric oncology and is also relevant to those involved in the assessment, management, and evaluation of pain in infants and children. The first chapter is an introduction to paediatric cancer that outlines the potentially painful procedures children experience during diagnosis and treatment, and provides a comprehensive overview of the physiology of pain. A major strength of this chapter is the author's ability to successfully integrate a child's understanding of pain with the role of cognition, emotion, behaviour, and physiology.
