Summary:

This book aims to create consensus among hematology and oncology faculty in the guidance of trainees during their busy hematology/oncology inpatient months. A large number of questions frequently asked by medical students, residents and fellows prompted the creation of this handbook to assist in development of educational enduring guidelines. These guidelines greatly facilitate organization of inpatient hematologic malignancies units by improving trainees’ education. The handbook addresses unmet need to harmonize diagnostic procedures and therapy recommendations for complications observed in patients diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Along with an emphasis in malignant hematology, this handbook integrates common benign hematology and solid tumor emergencies chapters that complement trainees and practitioners understanding of complex and common inpatient consults. Quick implementation of recommendations is achieved by availability of algorithms and tables. Treatment of hemopoietic malignancies such as leukemia and lymphoma is challenging. Medical students, residents and hematology/oncology fellows face difficulties in understanding how to manage complex leukemia, lymphoma, and oncology cases during their rotations in hematologic malignant units. This handbook is designed to address routine questions that trainees frequently confront dealing with: (1) How to diagnose acute myelogenous leukemia [AML], and lymphoma; (2) Acute AML and lymphoma complications; and (3) Post chemotherapy adverse outcomes. The primary objective of this handbook is to facilitate not only rapid guidance into diagnosis and recognition of complications, but also provide standard of care/high quality direction for management. Trainees will benefit from worked examples in the text, problems for students, and solutions to these problems, as well. .
