| Summary: | The second revised and enlarged edition of this successful "guide book" provides an up to date overview on bone marrow transplantation including pretransplant considerations, the transplant procedure, acute and delayed transplant related problems, and an outlook on future developments. It also provides a glossary of some of the terminology used. The authors have addressed the principles involved in marrow transplantation. Thus, thistext should help practicing hematologists, oncologists, and other physiciansas well as physicians in training and students to develop an idea as to when bone marrow transplantation should be considered, what steps need to be taken to make it possible, what the costs are and how a donor canbe selected. It also reviews potential complications and side effects, aspects particularly useful for the physician who assumes the care of patients after their return from a transplant center. Knowledge of the various areas under discussion should allow smoother communication between primary care physicians and transplant physicians, thus optimizing the treatment approach for any individual patient. |
