Features: In recent years, with the rapid development of theories and technologies in areas such as monoclonal antibodies, recombinant DNA technology, cytogenetics, and molecular biology, fundamental research on the pathogenesis of hematological diseases has made significant progress. The treatment of hematological diseases has also evolved from traditional chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell transplantation, and differentiation therapy to pro-apoptosis therapy, biological therapy, immunotherapy, target gene therapy, and anti-angiogenesis therapy. In particular, differentiation therapy for leukemia has set a precedent in tumor research. As a result, some basic theories and certain treatment methods in hematology have become essential knowledge for clinical medical professionals. This book systematically introduces various hematological diseases, with a focus on diagnosis and treatment, and includes some fundamental theories as well as advances in molecular biology research, all of which are integrated with clinical practice. The book also features a chapter on the correlation between hematological diseases and other diseases, helping readers understand both common and unique aspects across related disciplines. A dedicated chapter on experimental diagnosis is included. In the later chapters, the pathogenesis and clinical treatment progress of malignant hematological diseases are added, presenting the latest international developments in hematology to readers. This book is suitable for clinical physicians at all levels specializing in hematology, oncology, and related fields, as well as researchers and students in medical universities.
