Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology continues its tradition of excellence in correlating basic science with the clinical practice of hematology.
Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology is the most comprehensive hematology book on the market and is organized to help physicians find clinical answers quickly and easily.
The Eleventh Edition places a greater emphasis on clinical hematology, especially molecular aspects and new therapies.
Most chapters have been revised or reconfigured, and seven new chapters have been added: Gene Therapy, Congenital Immunodeficiency Syndromes, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in Adults, Acute Myelogenous Leukemia in Children, Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia, Systemic Mastocytosis, and Diagnosis and Classification of Lymphoproliferative Disorders.
