Book excerpt: In the past five years, remarkable advances in fetal surgery and imaging techniques such as ultrasound and "fast" MRI have occurred, resulting in increased numbers of antenatal tumor diagnoses even on "routine" prenatal examinations. Tumors of the fetus & Infant presents an up-to-date account of the clinical and pathological features of neoplastic disease and tumor-like conditions in the fetus and neonate and discusses major tumor studies and cases from throughout the world. Numerous summary tables provide superb guidance on treatment and survival rates, and over 3,000 references direct the reader to the best current and classic sources.
