Description
Advances in clinical bone marrow transplantation during the last two decades have promoted its worldwide acceptance as a treatment modality for a number of life-threatening diseases of the hematopoietic system. Focusing on basic principles, clinical issues and future developments, this handbook provides a concise yet comprehensive introduction to the rapidly developing field of allogeneic and autologous bone marrow or peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation. The first English edition of this useful handbook was very popular. The second revised edition, too, will prove to be a valuable aid not only for clinicians working in this field, but also for scientists and physicians not immediately involved in the treatment of transplant patients.
