Overview

The fifth edition of this series of lectures by Harvard haematologists has been revised to include discussions of scientific developments in contemporary haematology. New insights into oncogenes, growth factors, membrane receptors, differentiation and morphogenesis, enzymology, molecular biology, and evolutionary biology appear in virtually every lecture. A lecture on general principles of malignant disease appears for the first time. This new edition also adds many tables and figures relating to differential diagnosis that should be useful to practicing physicians and house officers. Examples include causes of splenomegaly, indication for splenectomy, differential diagnosis of normocytic anemia, macrocytic anemia, hypochromic anemia, thrombocytopenia, bone marrow failure syndromes, and many others. The bibliographies have been expanded, a new appendix containing laboratory methods has been added, and there is a complete index.
