Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"This comprehensive book presents current information on childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). ... the book appears to be written for practitioners in pediatric oncology, particularly those who specialize in leukemias. ... The combination of clinical and basic knowledge is the best thing about this book. ... This book offers the most up-to-date information on childhood acute leukemias comprehensively and concisely. I would recommend it to fellows and junior faculty who want to learn about childhood leukemia in depth." (Nobuko Hijiya, Doody's Review Service, April, 2011)
