Inhaltsangabe

In 1988 we presented our Guide to Bone Marrow Transplan­ tation. The reception has been enthusiastic and we have re­ ceived a flood of critical comments, suggestions and requests to provide an update in due time. Although several books on marrow transplantation have recently been published, their scope and goal have generally been different. Hence, we have decided to prepare a second edition of the Guide. Our aim was to maintain a short, concise text which never­ theless would incorporate changes that have occurred over the past four or five years. We have streamlined the description of pretransplant considerations, by condensing two sections into one (Treatment Planning and Timing of Transplantation). This also facilitated the review of controversial indications for marrow transplantation, for example in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia in first chemotherapy-induced remission. We have updated the chapter dealing with conditioning regimens and have expanded the section on donor selection, in particular in regard to the current level of tissue typing and the identification of unrelated volunteer donors. In the chapter on collection, processing, and infusion of marrow, we have incorporated recent developments, for example, the use of closed systems for marrow harvesting and processing and the use of solid phase separation of stem cells.

Reseña del editor

The second revised and enlarged edition of this successful "guide book" provides an up to date overview on bone marrow transplantation including pretransplant considerations, the transplant procedure, acute and delayed transplant related problems, and an outlook on future developments. It also provides a glossary of some of the terminology used. The authors have addressed the principles involved in marrow transplantation. Thus, thistext should help practicing hematologists, oncologists, and other physiciansas well as physicians in training and students to develop an idea as to when bone marrow transplantation should be considered, what steps need to be taken to make it possible, what the costs are and how a donor canbe selected. It also reviews potential complications and side effects, aspects particularly useful for the physician who assumes the care of patients after their return from a transplant center. Knowledge of the various areas under discussion should allow smoother communication between primary care physicians and transplant physicians, thus optimizing the treatment approach for any individual patient.
