This review is from: Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (Hardcover)

When we had a need for knowledge about this group of diseases, this book was and continues to be the best information we have found available in book form. The bibliography at the end of each chapter alone is worth the cost of the book. And when the diagnosis of subtype comes a month or two later, it is a great source of information relating to nearly any of the forms of lymphoma. In a sense there are hundreds of authors for the chapters and all are experts in their particular puzzle piece. Even if the diagnosis of subtype is something as rare as Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, there is a wealth of current information in the book and clues to further information.
