Description
Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has become a leading treatment world wide for a variety of cancers, including breast and testicular cancer in addition to leukemias and other haematological cancers. The BMT Data Book serves as a reference to aid the often complex decision-making process confronting clinicians. Organized according to disorder, hundreds of tables, lists and figures summarize data necessary to grasp transplantation therapy for leukaemia, lymphoma, aplastic anaemia, breast cancer, testicular cancer and other malignancies. For each, clinical outcomes are compared between transplant and non-transplant therapies. Additional sections outline procedures, cytotoxic drug regimes, basic science and laboratory medicine. A concise, comprehensive manual, The BMT Data Book will provide a unique reference tool for all clinicians involved in bone marrow or blood cell transplantation. It may be used as a companion to Clinical Bone Marrow Transplantation (Cambridge University Press, 1994) edited by Kerry Atkinson.
Reviews / Votes
'This publication is both a useful and unique addition to the scarce BMT textbook literature and a remarkable and courageous attempt to be practical.' Z. S. Pavletic, Annals of Oncology 'It is a remarkable compilation of information and would be of value to physicians who are not themselves bone marrow transplant experts, but who wish to discuss the possibility of transplantation from related or unrelated donors with their patients suffering from one of the diseases listed in the book.' A. V. Hoffbrand, Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and PsychiatryMore details
