Advances In Malignant Hematology

This comprehensive book captures and compiles new and current information on hematologic malignancies. New knowledge of cellular disease processes, molecular pathology, and cytogenetic, epigenetic and genomic changes has influenced the current outlook toward haematological malignancies. This recent and ongoing expansion of knowledge on malignant hematology has not previously been utilized to its full capacity due to its diffuse distribution scattered over the internet and research publications. This book is written by experts from the American and European continent, sharing their current thoughts and knowledge on the pathobiology of malignant haematological diseases of the blood, as well as current treatment strategies and future developments in the area of these haematological diseases.

There is no field of medicine in which advances in therapy have been so closely linked to a better understanding of molecular medicine than in the area of hematologic malignancies. Diagnostic and Therapeutic Advances in Hematologic Malignancies will provide practitioners and academic clinicians with a better understanding of the constant evolving concepts in this area.

The book Advances in Hematologic Malignancies presents new knowledge of cellular disease processes, molecular pathology, and cytogenetic, epigenetic, and genomic changes that have influenced the current outlook toward hematological malignancies. This book provides a unique, practical, and concise guide that is focused on the must-know points of diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutic management, and cutting edge clinical trial opportunities for each hematologic malignancy. Advances in Hematologic Malignancies is designed and organized as an essential reference source for the hematologist, hematologic oncologist, hematopathologist, and trainee.

More than 180 years since Thomas Hodgkin identified the first hematologic malignancy, nurses are still learning the best ways to treat patients with these complex cancers.

This book gives you every tool you need to keep pace with the advances in medicine and science as you trea

The Second Edition of this successful title has been fully revised and updated and now includes expanded sections on normal and malignant haematopoiesis, offering a thorough review of the molecular and cellular processes involved in malignancy, developments in diagnostic techniques and treatment, concluding with discussion of treatment of individual diseases, late effects of therapy and supportive care. Short Contents

This hugely practical work will be a bible in the pocket of hematologists and other practitioners everywhere, covering as it does malignant hematologic diseases that physicians will only occasionally see. It provides accurate, up-to-date information on the disease biology as well as practical recommendations concerning disease management. Information concerning these diseases, and particularly regarding their management, can be extremely difficult to find. Not any more.
