Description

The first text dedicated to peripheral T-cell lymphomas and their classification, diagnosis, and management� Peripheral T-cell lymphomas�(PTCL)�are a�diverse group of�lymphoid malignancies�that develop from mature T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. PTCL�represents�10-15% of all cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the US, and�up to 20-25% of cases�in South America,�Asia, and other regions around the world.�The role of different etiologic factors and the variation of�geographic distribution�makes�PTCL�one of the most�difficult�types of cancer�to understand and treat.� The first book of its kind,�The Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas�presents�a�far-reaching�survey�of�this�complex and rare group of blood cancers. Featuring contributions from�thought-leaders concerned with all�aspects of PTCL, this authoritative text covers biology, epidemiology, classification, approved and emerging drugs, molecular genetics, and more.�Detailed clinical chapters�address diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of each of the major PTCL subtypes identified in the 2018 WHO Classification of Tumors of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues.�This�much-needed resource:� Covers the biological basis, epidemiology, classification, and treatment of PTCL� Discusses�the�future�of�the field, including�global collaboration efforts and novel approaches to PCTL� Explores�the role of�biologics�in PTCL�and�autologous and allogeneic stem-cell transplantation� Offers�new�insights on�molecular pathogenesis, innovative therapeutics,�and�novel drug combinations� Features contributions�from the Chairs�The T-Cell Lymphoma Forum: the�world�s largest meeting focused on PTCL� Reflecting the unique epidemiology and genetic diversity of�the PTCL,�The Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas�is an indispensable source of data, insight, and references for the medical community, particularly�those working in oncology and hematology.��Typham this is the title: The Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas 1st Edition
