Overview
Postgraduate Haematology discusses up-to-date knowledge of the pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory features, management and treatment of a wide range of blood and bone marrow disorders in a concise and user friendly style. It presents essential information for everyday use and teaching, as well more detailed scientific background for more in-depth reading, accompanied by thoughtful referencing.
The clearly illustrated full-colour figures and charts demonstrate key facts, and are supplemented by numerous high quality photomicrographs of blood cells and tissues. Over 51 chapters from international authors, including the WHO Classification of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues, Postgraduate Haematology provides an expert review of malignant and non-malignant haematology.
- New sections reflect advances in the specialty, e.g. knowledge gained from new generation sequencing, latest anticoagulant drugs, diagnostic laboratory tools, and treatment strategies
- Superb four-color illustrations and photomicrographs of blood cells and tissues throughout
- Includes algorithms to aid with decision-making for treatment
- Companion website featuring figures and tables from the book
Arm yourself with the textbook of choice for trainees and practitioners in haematology.
