Adopting an integrated inter-professional approach, Kelly (School of Health and Social Science, Middlesex University, UK) and Gibson (UCL Institute of Child Health, UK) gather contributors in oncology and palliative care to offer a practical guide to cancer care in adolescents and young adults. They consider the impact of diagnosis on individuals and their families, and on the health professionals responsible for patient care. Sections focus on the adolescent's experience of cancer and ongoing care needs before, during, and after treatment, with discussion of topics such as renegotiating relationships within the family, adolescent body image, developing a personal value system, sexual identity, and peer relationships. Palliative care and end-of-life issues are also discussed. The voices of young people are heard in numerous real-life case vignettes. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
