The third edition of our textbook will provide easy-access and up-to-date information in the complex, diverse, and rapidly changing field of hematology and hematologic malignancy. We target entry-level postdoctoral fellows in hematology who are initiating their training as well as medical students and medical interns and residents, clinical nurse practitioners, and physician assistants working in the field of hematology-oncology. We also believe our text will be of considerable use to medical technologists, pharmacy personnel, and pharmaceutical representatives and medical science liaisons. Finally, this book will be attractive to persons working in blood banking and transfusion medicine as well as personnel in cardiology, pathology, infectious disease, and general pediatrics.

The text is presented in an easy-to-read, textual outline format to facilitate rapid and clear information in an organized fashion. This approach differs from other products and allows the reader to locate sections of immediate interest without wading through entire paragraphs to obtain the desired data. Further, the electronic version can be accessed with an APP. For optimal effect, we utilize a robust indexing tool.

Each chapter is written by a recognized expert(s). The diverse range of authors adds richness on the extent of the progress made in the respective disciplines. The contributors discuss the disorder/disease entity, beginning from incidence/prevalence, to include pathophysiology and patient demographics. Patient-, disease-, and treatment-related issues are discussed.

The reader is provided with up-to-date information but also is given insight and the tools to be able to continue the study of these topics as they develop over time. It is our intent to make this volume the first choice for information for the neophyte who enters the field of hematology.
