This book updates research on the biology, diagnosis and therapy of lymphomas, including new understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of malignant lymphomas which boosts diagnostic precision and helps identify a variety of molecular therapeutic targets.

Recently, understanding the molecular pathogenesis of malignant lymphomas has led to improvement in the diagnostic precision and to the identification of a variety of molecular therapeutic targets. In addition, new drugs have been approved in the US and Europe, resulting in changes in the standard of care of several types of lymphoid malignancies. Comprehensive in scope and developed by a team of internationally renowned authors, Lymphoma: Diagnosis and Treatment provides a timely update on the most important advances in the biology, diagnosis, and therapy of lymphomas. As part of the Current Clinical Oncology series, Lymphoma: Diagnosis and Treatment will be of value to medical oncologists, hematologists, radiation oncologists, and all physicians involved in the care of patients with lymphoid malignancies.

Easy to use, high-yield format features each type of lymphoma in an individual chapter Each chapter includes discussion of special biologic indicators, prognostic factors, and treatment of firstline disease and relapse Unique chapters cover cutting-edge developments in the employ of monoclonal antibodies, targeted molecules, and stem cell transplant
