Hematologic Malignancies

"Serving both clinical and experimental needs, Hematologic Malignancies: Methods and Techniques, provides an array of powerful tools that will guide clinicians - especially hematologists, oncologists, and pathologists - to better diagnose and manage their patients with hematologic malignancies, and enable researchers to assess the anticancer effect of agents that impact cancer cells at the molecular level." -Tumori "Guy B. Faguet, as editor, and the selected number of experts that he gathered together for this book, have done a remarkable job. In fact, there are very few books that in so few pages contain as much, and as useful, information as this newcomer in the field. All in all...this is an extremely valuable book of particular use to students and trainees in hematology and oncology." -Annals of Oncology
