5 FOREWORD Technological advances have quickly propelled hematology forward; for example: microarray expression analyses; single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chips (platforms to look at genomic changes); sophisticated fluorescent in situ hybridization; newly identified cell surface antigens associated with various diseases and cell types; understanding of transcription factors (engines of proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells); and more complete knowledge of chromosomal changes, mutations and amplifications associated with various hematological malignancies. These advances have been the engines for better diagnosis and classification of hematopoietic disorders. Furthermore, a variety of new therapeutic approaches have come to the forefront, such as targeted therapies (thyrosine kinase inhibitors) for myeloproliferative disorders; lenalidomide for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and multiple myeloma; demethylating agents for MDS and myeloid leukemia, as well as, humanized monoclonal antibodies for lymphomas. Many of these advancements have occurred since the first edition of Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management by Dr. Rienhold Munker and colleagues was published 6 years ago. This new edition, edited by Drs., Erhard Hiller, Jonathan Glass, and Ronald Paquette, provides in clear terms an understanding of the cellular physiology, immunology, and molecular biology of hematopoietic disorders. It gives new diagnostic methodologies and guides the health care worker to practical approaches to the diagnoses and management of these blood disorders. The book covers all of the major hematopoietic diseases and a number of the rare diseases as they interface with new scientific knowledge. It has excellent how to tables providing dosage and time schedules of different chemotherapeutic agents, as well as clearly defined tables to aid in diagnosis and prognosis. Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management, Second Edition is a fine montage of applied research and practical approaches to diagnosis and management of our patients. The book is ideal for the house officers, fellows in training, interested scientists, as well as the practicing hematologist. H. Phillip Koeffler, MD v

6 PREFACE In the 6 years since the publication of Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management, major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of blood disorders have again been made. Molecular studies are now used on a daily basis to diagnose a variety of hematological disorders and to guide their treatment. Targeted therapies, such as kinase inhibitors in myeloproliferative disorders and humanized monoclonal antibodies for lymphomas, have transformed the treatment approach to these diseases. Peripheral blood and even umbilical cord blood are now routinely used as sources of stem cells for transplantation. The growing use of nonmyeloablative transplantation emphasizes immunotherapy over cytotoxic chemotherapy. These advances motivated us to update Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management with the latest clinical and scientific developments in hematology. We welcome the contributions of new authors. The growing use of databases prompted us to add an overview of printed and electronic resources for hematologists. Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management, Second Edition brings together facts, concepts, and protocols important for the practice of hematology. In 23 concise chapters, all major blood diseases are covered; rarer diseases are discussed if they are of scientific interest. The first two chapters introduce the reader to the scientific basis of blood disorders. As in the previous edition, each chapter is illustrated by tables, figures, and a selection of color plates. Our text is ideal for residents or fellows in training. However, students, physicians in other specialties, and even pure scientists may take advantage of our book both as a reference and a study guide. We hope that ultimately, all patients with benign and malignant blood disorders will benefit from the publication of Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management, Second Edition., MD Erhard Hiller, MD Jonathan Glass, MD Ronald Paquette, MD vii
