Description

Presenting the new edition of the classic reference on paediatric haematology and oncology, this book, comprehensively revised and updated, continues to integrate lucid reviews of the pathophysiology of disease with detailed clinical guidance on its diagnosis and management. Drs. Nathan and Orkin - joined by two new co-editors and an outstanding team of authors - worked tirelessly to ensure that all the latest scientific advances appear in the sixth edition.
