ABC of Clinical Haematology 2th ed

As with most medical specialties, haematology has seen major changes since this book was first published in 1998. We now have greater understanding of the molecular biology of many diseases, both malignant and non-malignant. This new knowledge has helped us to develop more sensitive assays for many conditions, and has been taken into the clinic, with the engineering of new drugs, such as STI571 used in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia, amongst others. As with the first edition, the intention has been to encompass all aspects of haematology but with perhaps a greater emphasis on basic science than previously. Readers will note that the writing team is almost identical to that for the first edition, which provides continuity of style. I would like to express my gratitude to all my haematology colleagues for updating their sections and bringing the entire text up to date. Key reading lists are provided for all topics for those wishing to read about haematology in greater detail. Thanks must also go to the BMJ and in particular Mary Banks, Senior Commissioning Editor, and Sally Carter, Development Editor, who have been key players in the development of the second edition. I would welcome any comments concerning the book, and perhaps readers may have suggestions for the next edition. I can be contacted at a.b.provan@qmul.ac.uk.
