What is Current Controversies in Bone Marrow Transplantation (Current Clinical Oncology) about?

In Current Controversies in Bone Marrow Transplantation, Brian J. Bolwell and a distinguished team of transplant physicians critically review and interpret twenty-one key clinical challenges in bone marrow/hematopoietic cell transplantation, and offer their best personal recommendations for treatment. Topics range from transplant strategies to complications of bone marrow transplantation, including a discussion of the indications, benefits, and the risks for a variety of leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumors. The authors debate such contentious issues as the appropriateness of transplants in older patients, how many stem cells are sufficient for engraftment, and the pros and cons of umbilical cord blood transplantation. They also discuss such key points as the role of a busulfan-based preparative regimen versus total body irradiation in both children and adults, and the indications, outcomes, and limitations of autologous transplantation for ovarian cancer, metastatic breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, and germ cell tumors. Common clinical management problems of transplant patients are also addressed. Up-to-date and clinically focused, Current Controversies in Bone Marrow
