5.0 out of 5 stars Bone Marrow Transplantation, May 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bone Marrow Transplantation (Vademecum) (Spiral-bound)

This is a wonderful, concise text that covers a great deal of clinically useful information. I have almost every book published on stem cell transplantation and this is one of the best for its size and price. I recommend it for anyone in the transplant field. Whether you're new to the field or experienced, you'll find this to be a valuable reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars VALUABLE RESOURCE EVERYONE IN A BMT GROUP!, February 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bone Marrow Transplantation (Vademecum) (Spiral-bound)

The raison d'etre given for this new publication by its authors and publishers is to provide a concise monograph for doctors in training, information, for medical students, paramedical professionals, house-staff and practicing physicians-to say nothing about the nurses and technologists who make up the standard multi-disciplinary transplant group.

The contents of this book are current, authoritative, critically referenced and cover all the recognized aspects of these procedures, with many valuable comments that include a brief history of the topic, design of the transplantation unit, assessment of donors and eventually moving on to provide data that include results in each of the disease categories.

It is seldom that one can recommend, without reservation, widespread use and it is confidently predicted that the audience for whom the monograph is written will find this a valuable resource.
