Lippincott-Clinical Hematology

Features/Review:
"Haematology is one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving
disciplines of medicine. Wintrobe’s Clinical Hematology, 11th edition
, is a comprehensive, yet up-to-date reference textbook. It is an
absolute must for all practising haematologists. The subject matter is
up-to-date, and the language is simple and easy-to-read. Each section
begins with a brief overview, definitions are included in the text,
and there is an excellent balance between molecular biology,
pathogenesis, diagnosis and management. The book contains excellent
colour plates and there are several useful appendices and tables at
the end. Definitions are included in each section and the text is
comprehensively referenced." 2004 BMA Book Competition Reviewer


From reviews of previous editions:
"Wintrobe’s textbook...is the hematology bible."
Annals of Oncology

"Can clearly claim credit for establishing hematology as a distinct
subspecialty of internal medicine..."
JAMA

"Covers both the basic and clinical science of benign and malignant
hematology...The language is clear, the illustrations very
informative, and the text well organized."
Doody’s

"Easy to peruse for solutions to specific problems...Tables and
illustrations...facilitate comprehension."
Annals of Oncology

"Regarded as among the finest comprehensive reference books for
clinical and experimental hematology."
American Journal of Clinical Pathology

"Topics are clearly explained with the style and consistency of a
single-authored textbook."

First published in 1942, Wintrobe?s Clinical Hematology continues its
tradition of excellence in correlating basic science with the clinical
practice of haematology. This is the most comprehensive haematology
book on the market and is organised to help physicians find clinical
answers quickly and easily.
The Eleventh Edition places a greater emphasis on clinical
haematology, 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.
