Editorial Reviews

Review

"This multiauthored state-of-the-art review volume succeeds in its mission: to bring the reader a carefully thought out collection of well-referenced, detailed summaries of the current status and future promise of one of the next great frontiers in oncologic therapeutics...[an] excellent summary of the art of hematopoietic cell manipulation and cellular immunotherapy...the sort of tome that becomes dog-eared rather than dusty." Brian R. Smith, Quarterly Review of Biology

"It provides a tantalizing glimpse into an important future direction of therapy for cancer and other disorders. Clearly written, competently edited, most interesting and informative, it is highly recommended as a reading in contemporary medical science." Andrew W. Maksymiuk, M.D.,FRCPC, Annales CRMCC

Book Description

This volume in the series Cancer: Clinical Science in Practice, examines the current state and future prospects of hematopoietic cell therapy, which seems likely to have an even more profound impact on health care than did the production of proteins by recombinant DNA technology. The coverage is broad, including the scientific principles of cell therapy and gene therapy, the technology of cell collection and preparation, current and likely future clinical applications of cell therapy, and the principles and practice of cellular immunotherapy.
