Reviews
recommend[ed] as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and clinicians with an interest in the field of hematologic cancer. -New England Journal of Medicine The first edition of this book emphasized the recent insights into the pathophysiology of the haematological malignancies and focussed on the scientific principles underlying current therapy. This approach has been maintained in the second edition, and it has required considerable revision of some chapters and the addition of new chapters, including stem cell plasticity, DNA repair, senescence and telomeres, angiogenesis and tumor development, microarray analysis, and expression profiling. There has also been a major increase in the emphasis given to late effects of therapy and there are now three chapters devoted to this topic. -Laurent Degos, David C Linch and Bob Lowenberg (taken from Preface) ... a valuable resource for physicians interested in learning about hematologic neoplasms... I recommend this book as a reference for medical libraries and a resource for researchers, medical professionals, and students in the field of hematologic cancers. -New England Journal of Medicine (of the 1st Edition) It should not be missed by physicians caring for patients with leukaemia or lymphoma and researchers dealing with basic aspects of these diseases. -The Lancet (of the 1st Edition) ... this book is among the most useful sources of information for the haematology/oncology trainee, the busy oncology practitioner, and the hematologic malignancy specialist. -Annals of Oncology (of the 1st Edition) s book is among the most useful sources of information for the haematology/oncology trainee, the busy oncology practitioner, andthe hematologic malignancy specialist. -Annals of Oncology (of the 1st Edition)
