Cytogenetics, FISH and Molecular Testing in Hematologic Malignancies

Summary

Despite the approaching era of personalized medicine-when the diagnosis of disease type is just a first step, and the treatment options depend to a large extent upon the chromosomal and molecular profile of the disease-surprisingly few recent texts have responded in any depth by looking at the clinical implications of the testing modalities and how best they can be fitted into everyday hematologic practice for prognosis, treatment and monitoring. This pioneering systematic text will be an essential resource for all hematopathologists and hematologic oncologists.
