Oxford Specialist Handbook: Myeloproliferative Neoplasms - Paperback

by Tariq I. Mughal (Editor), Tiziano Barbui (Editor)

Our understanding of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) disorders, a group of clonal haematological malignancies characterized by excessive accumulation of one or more myeloid cell lineages, has grown considerably over the past four decades.

Myeloproliferative Neoplasms offers a detailed evidence-based guide to MPNs in an easily accessible format, structured to facilitate learning specialist information by presenting core information in 'bite size' chunks.

Each chapter summarises the state-of-the art preclinical and clinical knowledge, and its impact on the clinical management of patients with MPNs. This practical guide, written by experts in the field, is essential reading for oncologists, haematologists, and other health care professionals interested in the field of MPNs.
