Description
This book is designed to show how the physiology and function of the blood forming organs and circulating cells relate to bone marrow disorders, and how an understanding of this pathophysiology has led to major advances in treatment, including bone marrow transplantation. No competing text covers the same spectrum of recent experimental and clinical advances, and the book will be an important reference for postgraduates in haematology and oncology.
