Summary:

Now in its third edition, Leukaemia Diagnosis has been completely revised and updated to describe the various disease entities in more detail, incorporating new knowledge of the molecular basis of leukaemia and using the newly published WHO guidelines for leukaemia diagnosis and classification. Written by Barbara Bain, an acclaimed haematologist and morphologist, Leukaemia Diagnosis is a scholarly, but also highly practical reference source that provides a thorough guide to the principles of diagnosis and classification. It has a firm base in cytology and cytochemistry but also reflects the major advances in the fields of immunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular genetics.
