Hematologic Malignancies by Guy B Faguet

Hematologic Malignancies by Guy B Faguet

The aim of Hematologic Malignancies: Methods and Techniques is to review those methods most useful for the diagnosis and subsequent mana- ment of hematologic malignancies. The scope of coverage is intentionally broad, ranging from routine procedures to highly sophisticated methods not currently offered by most clinical laboratories. The latter methods were selected especially to bring into focus recent advances in molecular biology that, since they provide us with strong tools for assessing the outcome of upcoming therapeutic modalities intent on disease eradication, are expected to impact the future diagnosis and management of these diseases. Thus, the c- mon thread among all chapters is clinical relevance, whether sanctioned by past experience or by the expectation that seemingly esoteric research techniques of today will prove clinically valuable in the future. Hematologic Malignancies: Methods and Techniques is primarily a compilation of methods presented in sufficient detail--by authors with extensive expertise in their field--to serve not only as a reference for seasoned research and clinical laboratory pers- nel, but also as a guide for the less experienced. Moreover, the contributing authors also discuss the pathophysiologic bases and the diagnostic usefulness that underscore each method's clinical relevance. Thus, this volume should be also valuable to clinicians--especially hematologists, oncologists, and path- ogists--often bewildered by an ever increasing flow of new scientific inf- mation, the practical application of which is often either not clearly disclosed or difficult to discern.

"Serving both clinical and experimental needs, Hematologic Malignancies: Methods and Techniques, provides an array of powerful tools that will guide clinicians - especially hematologists, oncologists, and pathologists - to better diagnose and manage their patients with hematologic malignancies, and enable researchers to assess the anticancer effect of agents that impact cancer cells at the molecular level" -Tumori

"Guy B. Faguet, as editor, and the selected number of experts that he gathered together for this book, have done a remarkable job. In fact, there are very few books that in so few pages contain as much, and as useful, information as this newcomer in the field. All in all...this is an extremely valuable book of particular use to students and trainees in hematology and oncology." -Annals of Oncology

Dr. Faguet retired from the Medical College of Georgia (now Georgia Regents University) after a 30-year academic career that included clinical and bench research funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Veterans Affairs, respectively. He was a member of numerous scientific societies, a consultant for the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Science Foundation and the American Cancer Society and a reviewer for several prestigious scientific journals. He authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and seven book chapters and edited two books: Hematologic Malignancies (The Humana Press, 2000) & Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (The Humana Press, 2003). Since retiring, Dr. Faguet has authored three books on Public and Health Policy: The War on Cancer (Springer, 2005), Pain Control and Drug Policy (Praeger, 2010) and The Affordable Care Act (Algora, 2013).
