About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The focus of this book is on acute lymphocytic leukemia in adults, with frequent allusions to the childhood form of disease. … the only recent text solely focused on acute lymphocytic leukemia as it relates to subtypes of disease in each of the adult age groups. It is up to date and well referenced, and it integrates basic, translational, and clinical science. As such it serves as a unique resource for scientists and clinicians in the field of acute lymphocytic leukemia.” (Paulette Mehta, Journal of the American Medical Association, June, 2011)
“Twenty-three chapters cover a range of clinically biased topics, from diagnosis and epidemiology to assessment of response to therapy, salvage protocols and the late effects of successful therapy. The text is broken up by tables, graphs and occasional colour illustrations, while extensive lists of references supplement each chapter. … A section on the biology of ALL helps to explain the diversity and underlying genetic instability of the disease. … this collection of reviews will prove to be a very useful supplementary reference text.” (Maria H. Gilleece, Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, April, 2012)
