Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Malignant Conditions

Description:

Get a quick, expert overview of hematologic and non-hematologic malignancies for which hematopoietic cell transplantation is a treatment option. Drs. Qaiser Bashir and Mehdi Hamadani provide easy-to-find information on basic science of hematopoietic cell transplantation, pharmacology, workflows and procedures, possible complications and side effects, in addition to the role of HCT in conjunction with clinical cellular therapy.

Features:

• Discusses high-dose chemotherapeutic regimens and radiation therapy, patient and donor selection and workup, as well as other key aspects of hematopoietic cell transplantation.
• Includes practical information on complications, infectious disease, and special populations such as patients with HIV infection.
• Consolidates today’s available information in this fast-changing area into one convenient resource.
