Riassunto

This book is a comprehensive but accessible guide to current practice and new developments in the study of lymphoproliferative disorders. The growing understanding of the cellular mechanisms and molecular pathology underlying these conditions is causing a re-evaluation of many of the basic concepts of diagnosis and treatment, leading to a vast proliferation of the primary literature - this book will help the reader to put all these changes into their proper context. The first part begins with a short overview of the normal lymphoid system, and is followed by chapters on the principles and basic techniques of laboratory diagnosis, imaging and therapy. Part Two is a systematic account of the different lymphoproliferative disorders. Each chapter concludes with a section of key reading, which includes a range of review articles and papers discussing areas of current interest. The Lymphoproliferative Disorders will be of interest to those undertaking specialist training in haematology, pathology and oncology, and will also be an invaluable reference for practising clinicians and researchers requiring a concise review of the subject.
