Written by over 50 internationally distinguished experts, 30 more than the first edition, and contains nine new chapters! Continuing in the esteemed tradition and heralded success of the first edition, Chronic Lymphoid Leukemias, Second Edition offers a full overview of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) from multiple perspectives-covering all major developments since the previous edition was published eight years ago. Chronicling the complete history and variations of CLL-type leukemia, the Second Edition reviews the origin, nature, and molecular differences between B-CLL and T-CLL/PLL leukemias analyzes core constituents of apoptosis and causes for dysregulation of programmed cell death (PCD) in B-CLL examines recent research on the role cytokines and regulatory molecules may play in cross-cell communication profiles commonly used vectors for somatic gene therapy, as well as the latest advances in genetic engineering and vector design and production utilizes up-to-the-minute techniques such as fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to detect genetic abnormalities and aberrations explores current measures of supportive care with splenectomy, cytokine proteins, and intravenous immunoglobulin applications identifies how to manage infectious and psychiatric complications in patients with CLL and much more! Provides contemporary results on the efficacy of nucleoside analog combinations such as ara-C with fludarabine and cladribine and on the emerging nucleosides nelarabine and clofarabine! Copiously supplemented with over 2500 literature references-1000 more than the first edition-Chronic Lymphoid Leukemias, Second Edition fulfills the reference needs of oncologists, hematologists, immunologists, pathologists, infectious disease specialists, internists, molecular biologists, and medical school students in these disciplines.

Leukemia is a hematologic malignancy arising from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow. Starting with a detailed description of hematopoiesis and what goes wrong in leukemia, this concise guide covers all aspects of the four most common subtypes of the disease. Although the incidence and prevalence of leukemia are rising worldwide, survival rates are also increasing. However, both the effects of the disease and the adverse effects of treatment remain complex challenges. Yet, as our understanding of the molecular landscape increases, therapeutic options are becoming more personalized. This revised and updated second edition of 'Fast Facts: Leukemia' addresses the causes and risk factors for each subtype of leukemia, the initial and confirmatory diagnostic tests, and the latest treatment options. Designed as a comprehensive primer for physician assistants, nurse practitioners, primary care providers, oncology nurses, hematology/ oncology trainees and pharmacists, this resource will help the non-specialist and those in training to identify leukemia early and provide a thorough understanding of the pathology and genetic basis of the disease, treatment options, and effective approaches to emergency and supportive care. Table of Contents: • Understanding blood and its components • What is leukemia? • Epidemiology, etiology and risk factors • Diagnosis • Staging and general management • Supportive care • Emergencies in leukemia

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in the Western world. CLL has a highly varied clinical course. While advances in CLL therapy are noted, many patients still succumb to this illness. Like most progress in medicine, solid advances in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of CLL are rooted in an in-depth understanding of the basic and translational biology of CLL. In this book, CLL experts have contributed state-of-the-art summaries of various important aspects of CLL biology and have discussed the translational implication of such findings. This book, which is directed at physicians and researchers alike, aims to educate broadly and deeply. Intentionally, the many aspects and nuances of CLL clinical care that can only really be appreciated through direct patient care are not covered here, but instead, the book presents basic aspects of CLL that underlie many of the contemporary decisions that are made in CLL research and clinical settings. We hope that this book will critically inform the community and stimulate interest in CLL, which will ultimately translate into better CLL research, prognostication and therapy, with the end goal of providing a better outlook for patients afflicted with this common leukemia.
