Produktbeschreibung

This monograph aims to cover in depth all aspects of bone marrow lymphoid infiltrates, in the context of their wide spectrum of benign,borderline and malignant expressions. As the bone marrow is no longer considered a selective diagnostic procedure in the field of haematopathology and haematology,but a routine need to other subspecialists, we intend to provide a comprehensive treatise for beginners and experienced practitioners alike who deal with patients that are investigated or treated for lymphomas and lymphoid leukemias, manifest with laboratory or clinical signs suspicious for haematological diseases or show features mimicking haematological conditions. Bone Marrow Lymphoid Infiltrates: Diagnosis and Clinical Impact, describes the art of evaluating bone marrow lymphoid infiltrates in the context of their broad spectrum of normal, reactive and malignant status. Reference to the pathogenesis, clinical presentation and outcome complements the diagnostic parameters in each lymphoid disease entity. Physiological lymphoid development, microenvironmental factors and aging changes are unfolded in relation to their influential role in normal and pathological lymphoid conditions. The basic principles and gold standards that should govern a biopsy sample are given in detail, while the establishment of modern techniques is described in terms of their applicability, drawbacks and perspectives.
The 15 chapters that make up this monograph are the end product of the collaboration amongst European and American experts in different fields, each recognized in their own right for their contribution to bone marrow pathology, clinical approaches and management of lymphoid neoplasms as well as extensive knowledge of modern ancillary techniques.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"If you would like to understand the patterns and biology of lymphoid infiltrates of bone marrow, there is a very well-designed reference we could recommend. ... this book is a very well-organized helpful reference with its didactic format for the training pathologists. It is not only useful for updating the knowledge on evaluating bone marrow lymphoid infiltrates for the haematopathologists but also can be very helpful on solving the diagnostic problems for daily clinical practice." (Isinsu Kuzu and Gulsah Kaygusuz, Journal of Hematopathology, Vol. 6, 2013)
