Hillard M Lazarus

This is an essential guide to the data, basic science, outcome studies and decision-making processes involved in blood and marrow stem cell transplantation. Organized according to disease types and procedures, it contains more than 100 tables, figures and algorithms that reflect up-to-date research and give guidance on the choices between different types of chemotherapy, autologous vs. allogeneic transplantation, peripheral blood vs. bone marrow stem cells, and standard vs. experimental treatments. This new edition summarizes the research of the last four years and gives mature data for all established indications, such as acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome and Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas. New chapters discuss global trends in stem cell transplantation, cellular therapies including donor lymphocytes, and pediatric neurologic and metabolic disorders. With an expanded complications section, links to electronic databases and discussion of new drugs and alternative stem cell sources, this text belongs in every transplant unit.

Including Cellular Therapy

In Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management, Reinhold Munker and his distinguished colleagues offer a concise up-to-date summary of the fundamentals of clinical hematology, including all the most recent developments. Their comprehensive survey presents the essential clinical facts concerning malignant and nonmalignant blood diseases, detailing diagnostic methods, angiostatic drugs, the very latest therapies (e.g., stem cell transplantation), classifications, scientific controversies, and clear treatment recommendations. They also illuminate the scientific basis needed to understand the new diagnostic and treatment methodologies, the molecular pathogenesis of many hematologic disorders, and the new cellular therapies for these malignant disorders. All major blood diseases are covered, as well as the rarer disorders of special scientific interest. Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management strikes an authoritative balance between clinical acumen and fundamental understanding. By concisely combining cutting-edge explanations of disease pathophysiology with practical approaches to the diagnosis and management of hematologic disorders, it provides an invaluable vade mecum for today's physicians and students needing to keep up with the latest clinical and scientific developments.
