Full Description
This third edition continues the idea of the previous version to provide an overview of blood and marrow transplantations. It discusses indication and transplanation and pre-transplant considerations, then transplant procedures with all acute and delayed procedure. An outlook on developments and their future prospects is included, and problems and pre- and post-transplant complications are discussed. The text seeks to help practising haematologists, oncologists and other physicians, as well as physicians in training and students, to develop an idea as to when blood and marrow transplantation should be considered, what the costs are and how a donor can be selected.
