Agrawal is a comprehensive clinical reference that discusses the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of hematological disorders and cancer in children. The book provides practical clinical approaches to various pediatric blood disorders, including anemia, hemolytic anemia, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, hemophilia, thrombophilia, and thrombocytopenia. It also covers major childhood malignancies, such as acute leukemia, central nervous system tumors, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Wilms tumor, neuroblastoma, and other rare tumors. In addition, the book explores important aspects of pediatric cancer treatment, including transfusion medicine, chelation therapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and chemotherapy. Special attention is given to supportive care, oncologic emergencies, fever management, acute pain management, palliative care, and the use of central venous catheters. Clinical cases, procedural guidance, and a formulary are included to support the practical application of the information. Overall, this handbook serves as a valuable educational and clinical resource for medical students, pediatricians, nurses, and healthcare professionals involved in the care of children with hematological and oncological conditions.
