The first edition of this book established itself as the standard reference on Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas--a group of blood malignancies usually associated with children and now on the increase in the West. The success of the first edition was rooted in the seamless synthesis of the molecular biology of this type of cancer and its clinical management. In this second, considerably expanded edition approximately two-thirds of the text and illustrations are new, and the remaining third has been extensively revised, areas of controversy being accorded special consideration. The contributors have significantly increased the clinical emphasis of the volume. Detailed information is provided on the recently defined subtypes of lymphoma which were mentioned only briefly in the first edition. The text now offers a comprehensive account of the neoplastic diseases of the cells of the immune system--lymphocytes and their precursors--and covers every aspect of these conditions, including epidemiology, pathogenesis, pathology, molecular and clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment. A team of recognized world authorities, with the editor and 58 of the contributors based in the U.S., approach the Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas from the standpoint of individual diseases. Biological and clinical aspects are given equal attention, and it is this comprehensive approach that distinguishes this text from other competitors in the field.

Non Hodgekins Lymphoma Textbook,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas (Hardcover)
Great book when I first bought it for the medical information it contained. So much more promising genetic research and treatment has flooded the medical community since the books publication. For the health care professional, this may be a good history. For the patient, best to contact The Lymphoma Research Foundation [...] for the most updated information on research and treatment.
