Textbook contributions that shape pediatric cancer care
Dr. Dome has authored more than 200 articles, books, letters and chapters on pediatric cancer.
Jeffrey Dome, MD, PhD, senior vice president of the Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children’s National Hospital, recently authored chapters for Pizzo and Poplack’s Pediatric Oncology and Abeloff’s Clinical Oncology. These are just two of the internationally recognized oncology textbooks for which Dr. Dome has been invited to serve as senior author, with a focus on Wilms tumor and other pediatric solid tumors.
Contributions to medical textbooks are one of the important avenues for leading oncologists to share their expertise and knowledge with other specialists and medical students.
“Being invited to contribute to these textbooks is both an honor and a responsibility, it’s one way I can give back to the field and help prepare the next generation of physicians,” says Dr. Dome. “I like to tell people that at Children’s National, we don’t just follow the recipes for treatment. We write the cookbooks, or in this case, the textbooks.”
