all hematologic disorders, including comprehensive discussions of
hematologic malignancies, individualized patient care, cell-based
therapies, transplantation, transfusion medicine, hemostasis,
thrombosis, and consultative hematology―in one convenient volume.
- Provides state-of-the-art guidance from global experts at the forefront of the latest research and clinical practice.
- Provides
extensive updates throughout on basic science research, advances in
molecular diagnostics, new drugs, immunotherapies, personalized
medicine, laboratory medicine, transfusion medicine, stem cell
transplantation, and clinical treatment for all hematologic malignancies
and non-malignancies
- Contains
new chapters on gene editing; the impact of mitochondria on
hematopoiesis; myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm
overlap syndromes; immunotherapy and management of its toxicities;
transfusion medicine in sickle cell disease; principles of radiation
therapy; and COVID-19, including complications of vaccination and its
impact on the hematologic system.
- Discusses
many new advances in the field, including details and the future of
gene therapy for hemophilia, gene editing for sickle cell disease and
thalassemia, the evolution of cellular therapy, use of cells,
transfusion medicine vs. protein therapy, gene sequencing,
immunotherapy, and new targeted drugs.
- Includes
more decision-making algorithms for formulating diagnoses and
