Practical Algorithms in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

Algorithms are practical tools to help us address diagnostic and therapeutic problems in a logical, efficient and cost-effective fashion. Practical Algorithms in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology uses this approach to assist the clinician caring for children with blood disorders and possible malignancies. The book is designed for the general practitioner and pediatrician who are not exposed to these problems on a daily basis as well as residents and trainees in Pediatrics and Pediatric Hematology and Oncology.

Leukaemia Diagnosis, Fourth Edition

UP-TO-DATE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LEUKAEMIA DIAGNOSIS

Written by a renowned expert this practical guide had been fully revised and updated. The book covers recent advances in the fields of immunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular genetics. It illustrates how laboratory techniques are used for the diagnosis and classification of leukaemia and includes images of abnormal cells to aid diagnosis.

This fourth edition:

• Incorporates the recommendations of the 2008 WHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues
• Includes 300 high quality full colour digital images of abnormal cells in leukaemia and lymphoma – 50 of which are completely new

Hematologic Malignancies: Acute Leukemias

Better therapy of acute leukemias depends ultimately on better understanding of the distinction between leukemic and normal progenitor cells. Thus, several chapters in this volume describe current knowledge of acute leukemia biology and discuss new classification systems that have arisen consequent to emerging insights into pathogenesis. Treatment has also improved for particular types of acute leukemia. Given our intention that the book be useful to clinicians, we pay particular attention to these advances, to management of acute leukemia in general, and to development of new therapies.

Platelets, Second Edition

With an internationally renowned list of contributing authors, Platelets is a comprehensive and definitive source of state-of-the-art knowledge about platelets.
