Part of the popular Illustrated Colour Text series, it offers a comprehensive overview of diseases of the blood presented in clear double-page learning units, with descriptions of the pathophysiological processes leading to disease and the principles of therapy. In addition, this fully updated text includes relevant anatomy, examination skills, laboratory and transfusion medicine, and practical procedures, making it an excellent learning tool at all levels of training. | | Features: | - Features a full-colour, attractive presentation with easily accessible double page spreads, a logical progression of topics, summary boxes, and problem-based learning cases to help with clinical application and check understanding.
- Reflects the tremendous advances in haematology diagnostics and clinical practice that have occurred in recent years.
- Offers easy-to-digest, balanced coverage of haematology with dedicated sections on basic science, the haematology patient, special situations, and advances.
- Includes new coverage of immunotherapies, including CAR-T and bispecific antibodies; the increasing roles of molecular diagnostics and precision medicine; new treatments in the management of haematological malignancies and bleeding disorders; clinical transfusion medicine; and potential future roles of minimal residual disease monitoring, gene therapy, and artificial intelligence.
- Covers the haematological manifestations of systemic disease, implications of haematological disease in the paediatric and older adult populations, and the importance of palliative and supportive care in haematological disease.
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
