Increased knowledge on the pathogenesis of hematologic diseases has been
translated into diagnostic and prognostic applications. Hematopathology
and laboratory hematology were among the first disciplines to embrace
molecular diagnostics. Hematological Malignancies: Methods and
Protocols, explores molecular-based assays frequently used in the
routine diagnostic hematopathology and laboratory hematology. Many of
these protocols were initially developed as research applications and
were further refined as they transitioned to the diagnostic laboratory.
Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology(TM)
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective
topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step,
readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on
troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Hematological Malignancies: Methods and
Protocols aids scientist in the continuing study of tests essential for
contemporary laboratory diagnostics of hematological neoplasms.
