Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Clinical and Biological Advances

Myelodysplastic Syndromes was first published in 2006, and continues to stand out as the definitive text on the genetics, pathophysiology, and clinical management of this wide range of syndromes. It remains a major reference on all aspects of the clinical classification underlying pathogenetic mechanisms and treatment of the myelodysplastic syndromes. Authored by international experts, the book provides an assessment of the subjects status and a variety of advances in the field. The chapters cover all aspects of the myelodysplastic syndromes, from an in-depth analysis of the multifactorial nature of this disease, including a careful assessment of stromal, immunological and stem cell abnormalities, to a review of recent molecular and cytogenetic discoveries and insights. This book will be a valuable resource to clinicians and researchers who wish to learn more about myelodysplastic syndromes.
