In the past thirty years there have been substantial advances in the treatment of leukaemia, particularly during the last decade. This volume presents a critical review and synthesis of modern methods of leukaemia treatment, focussing on balanced analyses rather than emphasizing individual studies. The authors are all from the University of California, Los Angeles, and are experts in their respective fields. The lessons derived from leukaemia therapy have far-reaching implications for our understanding of cancer biology and treatment, and this volume will therefore prove useful to haematologists and oncologists, leukaemia researchers, house officers and medical students.
