This thoroughly updated Second Edition includes new standards in the treatment of malignancies, mechanisms of action of new therapeutic agents, and the current use of molecular prognostic factors. Key points about diagnosis and management of disorders are bulleted for easy reference. This edition also includes illustrations.
