Edited and written by world authorities, this text encompasses all aspects of Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and related disorders. Designed to be the "Bible" for both clinicians and scientists who deal with lymphoma, the book is packed with useful summary tables and abundant illustrations and translates cutting-edge discoveries into state-of-the-art management guidelines. The preeminent names in research and practice bring together today's entire spectrum of knowledge--from epidemiology, classification and prognosis through diagnosis and therapy, including the latest scientific advances, such as the impact of molecular biologic and genetic discoveries and new biologic markers.




Reviews

REVIEW OF PREVIOUS EDITION:
It is a pleasure to see so much information on the lymphomas available in an up-to-date and readable format The New England Journal of Medicine
The status of the authors and their demonstrated contributions to the field make this book an outstanding reference source. Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research.
