In the few years since the first edition, there have been immense changes in the number of patients receiving marrow transplants, in the number of institutions doing marrow transplants and in the number of scientific publications about marrow transplants and related fields. This new edition reflects these changes and incorporates the most current resources and information to this growing field.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplantation, September 27, 2000

By	lori roberts (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This book is an excellent resource for BMT nurses. We use it at our center for quick reference, and for training new BMT nurses. It covers diseases that are treated with transplantation, effects of transplant on each organ system, different conditioning regimens and specific side effects common to each, oncologic emergies, nursing interventions, quality of life issues, future trends in BMT, ethical questions, and much more. The 1997 edition differs most notably from the 1991 issue in that the pediatric chapter was omitted. The book is thorough and user friendly, with easy to read charts that organize information for quick reference. I use the book regularly for practice and for teaching, and plan to purchase each new edition that is released.
