Advances in Malignant Hematology 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 malignant hematology. This recent and ongoing explosion of knowledge has not previously been captured and utilized to its full capacity due to its diffuse distribution over the internet and research publications.
This comprehensive book is written by experts from the American and European continent, sharing their current thoughts and knowledge on the pathobiology of malignant hematological diseases, their current treatment strategies and future developments.
The book is divided into five sections:
- Hematopoiesis
- Myeloid Malignancies
- Lymphoid Malignancies
- Plasma Cell Disorders
- Bone Marrow Transplantation and Quality of Life
There was a time when the practicing hematologist could only offer treatment for the symptoms of malignant disease states. Now, treatment attempts are being offered to attack and eradicate diseases at their molecular level. In some instances this has helped to achieve a near cure, and perhaps a complete cure in the near future, for some of the hematological malignancies.
Advances in Malignant Hematology provides significant help in the battle against hematologic cancer and will be valuable to hematologists in training and in practice.
