Description
Rely on the unique vignette format of the Pearls Series to explore key elements in the management of hematologic and oncologic conditions!
This text, written by fellows and reviewed by faculty at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, covers novel therapies and current
techniques in this rapidly evolving field. Each vignette presents a real patient case and a clinical photo-graph; then challenges readers
to formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan. The next page reveals the correct diagnosis...discusses the disorder, clinical course,
and outcome of the patient...and concludes with 3-4 clinical pearls distilled from the case. The interactive format makes reading fun?and
the patient cases offer "pearls of practice" not found in standard texts!
Audience
Students and Residents; Hematologists, Oncologists, Oncology Nurses
