APLASTIC ANEMIA: Pathophysiology and treatment Hubert Schrezenmeier Andrea Bacigalupo Cambridge University Press APLASTIC ANEMIA Pathophysiology and treatment This book takes account of the most recent Wndings in laboratory research and clinical trials to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date reference on the pathophysiology, epidemi- ology, diagnosis and treatment of acquired and inherited aplastic anemia. As well as a comprehensive and detailed overview of the pathophysiology of the disease, the international team of authors covers all aspects of management, including the well established approaches of bone marrow transplantation and immunosuppressive treat- ment, new approaches such as the use of hematopoietic growth factors and escalated immunosuppression, and controversial issues such as stem cell transplantation. The Wnal section concentrates on the inherited syndrome Fanconi’s anemia. Much of the recent work in this area has been coordinated by the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT). Included here is an important international consensus document with guidelines on treatment of aplastic anemia which combines the results and views of the EBMT with those of the international experts from America and Japan. Detailed treatment guidelines are given, making this the deWnitive resource for hematol- ogists and clinicians from other disciplines involved in the management and supportive care of patients with aplastic anemia. Scientists interested in mechanisms of bone marrow failure will also Wnd this an invaluable reference. Hubert Schrezenmeier is Professor of Medicine in the Free University of Berlin and Chairman of the EBMT Working Party on Severe Aplastic Anemia. Andrea Bacigalupois Director of the Bone Marrow Transplant Centre, Ospedale San Martino, Genoa, and President of the EBMT.
