Description and Table of Contents
Description
The myelodysplastic syndromes pose important clinical and scientific chal- lenges which in recent years have attracted growing interest within haemato- oncology and molecular genetics. Their potential as a model for the study of human leukaemogenesis makes this one of the most exciting fields in contemporary haematology. Rapid progress towards understanding these disorders had created the need for international interdisciplinary communi- cation. In order to fulfil this need the First International Symposium on Myelodysplastic Syndromes was organized in Innsbruck, Austria, in June 1988. The substantial number of excellent speakers and of participants manifested the great international interest on the topic. The present volume consists of the contributions of most of the speakers at this Symposium. We wish to thank all those who submitted their manus- cripts. G. ].
