Full Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of current treatment strategies in indolent lymphomas, the clinical management of which continues to pose significant challenges for the general oncologist despite the tremendous progress in diagnosis, evaluation of risk factors, and molecular targeted approaches. Experts in the field from around the world describe the histomorphology in a clinically relevant manner, consider the role of risk factors in detail, and discuss the full spectrum of therapeutic approaches. Special emphasis is placed on the translation of molecular science into clinical care, and a disease-specific algorithm is proposed for each entity. The coverage encompasses follicular lymphoma, MALT, nodal marginal zone lymphoma, splenic marginal zone lymphoma, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, hairy cell leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, mycosis fungoides, large granular lymphocytic leukemia, and also mantle cell lymphoma. The book will be an excellent resource for experienced and inexperienced practitioners alike.
