Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology 14e SC

The 14th edition continues Max Wintrobe’s commitment to linking past accomplishments to the present understanding of the science and clinical practice of hematology. There are many stories that are among the most interesting and successful in medicine, including megaloblastic anemia, sickle cell disease, hemophilia, transfusion medicine, anti-thrombotic therapy, and treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, acute promyelocytic leukemia, and Hodgkin lymphoma. We appreciate the expert authors who have provided state of the art chapters and point to future directions. Genetics and immunology are central to many of the topics. Hematopoietic cell transplantation, gene therapy, and immunotherapy are specialized therapies and have focused chapters, as well as discussions in other chapters about their use in improving survival for a variety of hematologic diseases.

There is an emphasis on four components of diagnosis: the morphology of the peripheral smear, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and other tissues; flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular markers and mutations. Therapeutic principles are discussed based on pathogenesis and an accurate diagnosis. The book is divided into eight parts: 1) Laboratory Hematology; 2) The Normal Hematopoietic System; 3) Transfusion Medicine; 4) Disorders of Erythrocytes; 5) Hemostasis and Coagulation; 6) Disorders of Leukocytes, the Spleen, and Immunoglobulins; 7) Hematologic Malignancies; and 8) Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.
