Hematopoietic Cell Transplants: Concepts, Controversies and Future Directions is a detailed account of the field today and what its future looks like. The 7 editors - from diverse backgrounds but in one way or another touching on transplants - have assembled contributions from 150 experts into 72 chapters covering every aspect of hematopoietic cell transplantation you might imagine and several you might not.' Shahrukh K. Hashmi, The ASCO Post

This authoritative new book provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in hematopoietic cell transplantation, explaining key concepts, successes, controversies and challenges. The authors and editors discuss current and future strategies for major challenges, such as graft-versus-host-disease, including new prophylaxis and treatments. They also discuss long-term complications, such as second malignancies and cardiovascular complications. Chapters are written by leading world experts, carefully edited to achieve a uniform and accessible writing style. Each chapter includes evidence-based explanations and state-of-the-art solutions, providing the reader with practice-changing advice. Full reference lists are also supplied to facilitate further exploration of each topic. Each copy of the printed book is packaged with a password, giving readers online access to all text and images. This inspiring resource demystifies both the basics and subtleties of hematopoietic cell transplantation, and is essential reading for both senior clinicians and trainees.
