Description

The use of haematopoietic stem cells in transfusion medicine is radically changing the current treatment protocols for cancer and haematological disorders. This book provides a description of the current research behind bone marrow, cord and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, covering its possible clinical uses and techniques for collection, characterization and in-vivo and in-vitro properties of haematopoietic stem cells. This title records the proceeding of the 6th Hokkaido Symposium on Transplantation Medicine, and reviews the current status of this field of medicine for oncologists, haematologists and bone marrow transplantation specialists.
