Although plasma cell tumors are still an enigma, the author
provides an excellent overview of all aspects of examination
and treatment of gammopathies, based on 30 years of
experience examining more than 1500 patients.
Several new modes of treatment which have improved patient
quality of life have been developed over the past decades,
including bone marrow transplantation. All of these have
been dealt with in this publication.
