Book description
This outstanding reference source on bone marrow transplantation has
become recognised as the bible in the field. This fourth edition has
been fully revised to reflect latest developments, and now features over
500 illustrations, including a colour plate section. The need for this
new edition cannot be overstated - more than 13,000 new cases per year
of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation have been reported to the
International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry
The original editor, Donnall Thomas, was a pioneer in stem cell
research and won the 1990 Nobel Prize for his discoveries concerning
organ and cell transplantation in the treatment of human diseases.
The book also now includes a fully searchable CD with PDFs of the
entire content.
