Color Atlas of Clinical Hematology 4th Ed by Hoffbrandt, Pettit, Vyas

Since the previous edition was published in 2000, major advances have occurred in the understanding of the molecular basis of hematological diseases. The World Health Organization (2008) Classifi cation of Hematological Malignancies has incorporated this new knowledge to defi ne many of these diseases and to add new entities. Molecular genetics are also now used more widely to classify benign disorders such as the thalassemias, inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, iron refractory iron defi ciency anemia, hemochromatosis, and inherited coagulation disorders. We have attempted to fully illustrate this new knowledge in the fourth edition of the Color Atlas of Clinical Hematology. Scientifi c diagrams, images of cytogenetics, fl uorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH), and gene arrays are included throughout. Fluorescentactivated cell sorting (FACS) and new imaging techniques, including FDG-PET, widely used in the diagnosis of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, are also extensively included.
