Like its successful predecessors, Cancer Cytogenetics, Third Edition continues to offer authoritative coverage of neoplastic processes at the chromosomal level of genomic organization. Now updated and expanded, this new edition includes detailed information on the most recent advances in the field, incorporating a vast amount of new cytogenetic as well as molecular genetic data from the latest basic and clinical investigations.
Edited by two leading authorities, who are now aided by a panel of internationalexperts, this new edition has been updated to include:
* Greatly expanded coverage of solid tumors
* Enhanced coverage of acute and chronic myeloproliferative disorders
* The latest findings on acute and chronic lymphoproliferative disorders
