Reviews

From the reviews:

"This comprehensive book, Coagulation in Cancer, edited by David Green and Hau C. Kwaan is a much needed compilation of recent studies and current concepts of the subject. … Many will appreciate the chapters emphasizing the high probability of thromboembolism and bleeding and myeloproliferative disorders. … Clinicians and research investigators … will appreciate the large number of pertinent references to be found in the bibliographies of these articles."
