Editorial Reviews
Review
"...well organized, well written and...well illustrated." Oncology
"One of the best (if not the best) general reference sources on the clinical aspects of hematologic neoplastic diseases." New England Journal of Medicine
"Neoplastic Diseases of the Blood is a classic text that would be an excellent addition to the library of anyone interested in a comprehensive book that integrates the history, epidemiology, pathology, pathophysiology, and therapeutics of modern neoplastic hematopathology." American Journal of Clinical Pathology
"Without question, this is the most comprehensive, almost encyclopaedic textbook on leukaemias, myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndromes and lymphomas presently available. As stated in the preface, it was the editors' aim to design an encyclopaedic resource for established haematologists and medical oncologists taking care of adults and children. The reviewer believes that this aim has been achieved magnificently. This is a carefully edited, very good book, and nothing comparable is on the market." Annals of Oncology, D.K. Hossfeld, Hamburg, Germany

First Sentence:
Although chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can be grouped together for some purposes, they differ in many ways, CML being a disease with well-defined progressive stages (chronic phase; acceleration; transformation) occurring in middle life, whereas CLL is a relatively indolent disease involving mainly the elderly.
