Written primarily for haematologists but of value to oncologists as well, this comprehensive review of myeloma includes contributions from international experts in the field.

With contributions from international experts, Myeloma provides a comprehensive overview of multiple myeloma and related plasma-cell disorders. It examines the molecular and biological background of these diseases, as well as their clinical aspects and investigations, and developments in therapy. Containing 150 color illustrations, charts, and graphs, the book summarizes practical applications of cytogenetic studies in plasma-cell dyscrasias, covers the pathology of myeloma bone disease, discusses the current ways of assessing skeletal involvement, and highlights the use of new biophosphonates. This text is a practical reference for hematologists, oncologists, and researchers.
