Molecular Hematology

Provides up-to-date and reliable information on the molecular basis of major hematologic diseases, authored and edited by leading experts in the field

Molecular techniques play a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases. Molecular characterization of genes and proteins has improved our understanding of the pathogeneses of hematologic disorders and led to the development of exciting new drug therapies and recombinant proteins.

Molecular Hematology provides a core knowledgebase on the molecular basis of major hematologic diseases. Perfect for those with limited exposure to hematologic molecular biology, this accessible volume demonstrates the clinical relevance of molecular biology in the diagnosis and treatment of blood disorders such as hemophilia, anemia, multiple myeloma, thrombophilia, platelet disorders, leukemia, and lymphoma.

Now in its fifth edition, Molecular Hematology is fully revised to incorporate current hematology research and practice. Entirely new chapters cover topics such as CAR-T cell technology, cancer cell biology, gene therapy and gene editing in clinical practice, and the impact of molecular research on the diagnosis and treatment of various malignant hematologic diseases. This edition includes updated suggested readings and a wealth of new full-color charts, graphs, and illustrations throughout.

Including access to a companion Digital Edition providing interactive search, downloadable illustrations, and notation tools, Molecular Hematology, Fifth Edition, is an invaluable resource for established and trainee clinicians, clinical scientists and researchers, medical students, and upper-level undergraduates in the fields of hematology, oncology, and molecular biology.
