For the practicing clinician these changes are occurring at a rapid rate and it is difficult to keep informed of all the new information. Therefore, most physicians focus on the major diagnostic and therapeutic changes in common cancers, and it is often a challenge to stay up to date on the advances in the less common malignancies. Furthermore, it is difficult to find the new information in a timely fashion when seeing patients with an uncommon or unusual hematologic malignancy. In this book, we have assembled data on rare hematologic malignancies to provide a c oncise resource for practicing oncologists. Each chapter provides information on the biology of the various rare hematologic diseases but also focuses on the latest therapeutic advances. Because of the paucity of clinical trials in most of these d iseases, the authors have not only summarized the literature but also provided their own expertise regarding management of patients. We trust that this book will be helpful to physicians seeing patients with uncommon hematologic malignancies, and will also be of benefit to patients by providing the treating physicians with r ecommendations concerning the optimal management of diseases that are uncom- monly seen in their practice.
