Reviews

Current transplant approaches to the individual hematologic malignancies are discussed and the literature critiqued. The diverse complications of transplantation are discussed in considerable detail; the authors clearly define the underlying pathophysiology as well as state-of-the-art treatment approaches. Chapters on the new field of alternative graft sources is one of the book's best features and include unrelated, haploidentical and umbilical cord transplantation. This is a high-quality publication that is easy to read and not as overwhelming as the larger, more comprehensive transplant books. It is full of helpful information and references. - Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal This book provides a timely update and a valuable summary of this rapidly evolving field. - Annals of Internal Medicine
