From the reviews of the second edition:

“This authoritative book deals with all aspects of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). ... The book is directed at anyone working in the field of HSCT, whether clinician or researcher. It is detailed enough to provide in-depth information on several topics, and other topics are general enough to be useful to trainees in hematology/oncology ... . this is a substantial book ... . It compares very favorably with other works in the field and can be considered among the top on this subject.” (Jayesh Mehta, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2011)
