Reviews

From the reviews: ""... a superb summary of the topic, is a modern synthesis of Dameshek’s adventurous thinking. ... Myeloproliferative Disorders is an important contribution to hematology. It arrives at a time when the study and treatment of these important diseases is at a crossroads, a time when hematologists everywhere have come to expect that the next great leap forward will come soon. For me, this book will sit on the shelf next to the first edition of Dameshek’s Leukemia. ..."" (Robert Schwartz, New England Journal of Medicine, 356/ 24, June 2007) ""First identified and named by William Dameshek in 1951, myeloproliferative disorders have become ‘landmarks in the history of malignant disease … on which progress in understanding and treating other malignancies … and indeed solid tumors can be based.’ … it ‘should be of interest to medical students who find the specialty of hematology truly fascinating.’ For other physicians and for patients, this reference provides a needed understanding of avant-garde medical research."" (William H. Wehrmacher, JAMA, Vol. 298, 2007)
