Review:

"The book is complete, extremely well presented and can be recommended to clinicians and scientists working in the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation." Jean-Yves Cahn, Service d'Hématologie, Centre Hospitalo-Universitaire de Besançon

"...a truly comprehensive review of the expanding field of stem cell transplantation...a valuable resource for individuals involved in the field." Bruce Camitta, Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology

"Everyone involved in research or clinical care as related to the field of stem cell transplantation will want ready access to this up to date authoratative text." Leukemia Research

"The strength of this work lies in its capacity to provide information in two formats: extended textual discussions of the background...in clinical and basic science research and brief, practical tables summarizing patient care." The New England Journal of Medicine

"Overall, the book is an excellent and indispensable companion...It provides a good overview of all aspects of the procedure and many practical hints (in the form of checklists and flowcharts) where applicable. The book compares very favorably to the third edition of Thomas et al.'s Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation, 2nd edition...With new developments and increasing interest in stem cell plasticity, the editors have brought out the new edition in a timely fashion and have ensured that all topics of pressing interest are covered." Doody's Review Service

"...this third edition is very interesting and presents the whole concept of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation." Annals of Oncology, A.S. Michallet, Pierre-Benite, France
