Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are planning an edition focused on the diagnosis and management of pediatric leukemia.
We would like to focus on the initial diagnostic workup, initial management of emergent complications, overviews of front line therapy, the management of relapse, the roles of stem cell transplant and radiation therapy, supportive care including symptom management, the impact of new targeted therapies, the unique problems of adolescent and young adult patients, and the long term-problems in survivors.
Obviously, we may not be able to include all of these topics, and other suggestions are welcome.
I would also very much like an article on the problems of management, prognosis, salvage therapy, and supportive therapies in low- and middle-income countries, as I suspect there are many challenges in those populations.
Thank you for considering submitting to this journal, and we welcome additional input.
Prof. Dr. Elaine R. Morgan
Guest Editor
