The branch of medicine that studies the causes, treatment and prevention of blood-related diseases is known as hematology. Hematologic malignancy is a type of cancer that originates in blood-forming tissues such as the bone marrow or in the cells of the immune system. It is caused by cells dividing at an abnormal rate. The three main types of hematologic malignancies include, leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. A cancer that begins in the lymphatic system is called lymphoma. The lymphatic system is an important part of the immune system and it includes lymph nodes, spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. Lymphoma cancer can affect any part of the lymphatic system. Multiple myeloma is a cancer that originates in the bone marrow. It affects the plasma cells. In multiple myeloma, the plasma cells affected with cancer, start building-up in the bone marrow along with the healthy blood cells. Leukemia is a cancer that starts developing in the bone marrow, or blood-forming tissues, or the lymphatic system. The diagnosis includes various blood tests, such as complete blood count (CBC) test and electrophoresis blood test. This book includes some of the vital pieces of works being conducted across the world on various topics related to diagnosis, treatment and control of hematologic malignancies. Students, researchers, hematologists, and all associated with this subject will benefit alike from it.

One of the first book’s to deal specifically with imaging of the entire spectrum of hematological malignancies. The use of the latest imaging modalities is well described, and an important aspect of the book is the role of imaging techniques in differentiating between manifestations of the underlying disease and complications of treatment. Each of the 28 chapters is written by an internationally recognized expert, making this book the most current and complete treatment of this subject available. Includes many high-quality radiological and histological illustrations. It should be of great interest to radiologists and hematologists.

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of all aspects of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, from basic biology to supportive care. It offers new insights into the genetic pre-disposition to the condition and discusses how response to early therapy and its basic biology are utilized to develop new prognostic stratification systems and target therapy. Readers will learn about current treatment and outcomes, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy approaches. Supportive care and management of the condition in resource poor countries are also discussed in detail. This is an indispensable guide for research and laboratory scientists, pediatric hematologists as well as specialist nurses involved in the care of childhood leukemia.

This book provides patients and their physicians (especially “non-oncologist” health care providers) with a clear and concise introduction to cancer immunotherapy, which, unlike traditional forms of cancer therapy, acts by boosting the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. The unique features of cancer immunotherapy make its management, monitoring and side-effects different from those of traditional cancer therapy. Especially novel are the side effects of cancer immunotherapy, necessitating greater awareness for both patients and physicians in order to minimize complications of therapy. The patient-friendly, concise, easy-to-understand, and up-to-date knowledge presented in this book will inform patients about the benefits and risks of cancer immunotherapy, and help them and their care providers to understand how immunotherapy would control their unique disease. Researchers and academic professionals in the field of cancer immunotherapy will also find clear and useful information to help them communicate with patients or address unresolved problems. Some key features of the book are: Expertise. All editors and authors are scientists and oncologists specializing in cancer immunotherapy, and are involved in scientific discovery from the early stage of immune-checkpoint inhibitors to today’s daily patient care. Their insights, expertise and experience guarantee the high quality and authority in the science, medicine and practice of cancer immunotherapy. Patient-friendly. This book is written for cancer patients in order to meet their needs when considering immunotherapy. As an educational tool, this book will help the reader balance the risks and benefits based on both science and clinical facts, and therefore to make the best choice in receiving or withdrawing from immunotherapy. Disease Specificity. Cancer is a complicated disease involving multiple stages and pathology. Its response to immunotherapy is individualized and varies depending on cancer types. The authors’ expertise in treating different types of cancers, including melanoma, lung, kidney, bladder, and lymphoma, provides disease-specific insights in applying immunotherapy to each disease.
