Review
"This book is up to date, and gives clear information on pathogenesis as well as practical clinical guidance. This work should be extremely valuable to general haematologists and haematoncologists...highly recommended and will remain valuable for many years to come." Hematological Oncology
"The text is focused, well organized, and extremely well written...an outstanding reference for both adult and pediatric hematologists who treat patients with bone marrow failure. Basic scientists interested in the mechanisms of hematopoiesis and bone marrow failure will also find this to be a useful reference. In short, the text provides an accurate and comprehensive overview of aplastic anemia." Journal of the National Cancer Institute
"This book provides comprehensive and up to date concepts on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of acquired and inherited aplastic anemia. The book is excellent and enjoyable to read...Aplastic Anemia is a super textbook and should be in the library of every scientist interested in this subject. I would also suggest the book to medical students." International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology

Product Description
This book takes account of the most recent findings in laboratory research and clinical trials to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date reference on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of acquired and inherited aplastic anemia. As well as providing a detailed overview of the pathophysiology of the disease, the international team of authors covers all aspects of management, including the established approaches of bone marrow transplantation and immunosuppressive treatment, new approaches such as the use of hematopoietic growth factors and escalated immunosuppression, and controversial issues such as stem cell transplantation. Also included is an important international consensus document on treatment, and a final section concentrates on the inherited syndrome Fanconi's anemia. Detailed treatment guidelines are given, making this the definitive resource for hematologists and other clinicians involved in the management and supportive care of patients with aplastic anemia. Scientists interested in bone marrow failure will also find this an invaluable reference.
