This book will provide an overview of how to manage patients with
lymphoma in the format of a series of engaging case studies. Lymphomas
are cancers that originate in the lymphatic system. There are two main
types of lymphoma: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These
lymphomas comprise various subtypes with prognosis and treatment
depending on the stage and type of the cancer. Lymphoma is a major
global health problem; non-Hodgkin lymphoma in particular is the tenth
most common type of cancer worldwide. In response to this there have
been a number of significant advances in the available treatment options
for lymphoma with new breakthrough drugs being approved or registered
for approval. In light of this, this case study book will be an
extremely timely guide for all hematologists, oncologists, and
healthcare professionals wishing to keep up-to-date with these recent
developments. The format of this book is also particularly appealing as
it offer readers a practical approach to the clinical management of
patients with these conditions as suggested by leading physicians from
the City of Hope National Medical Center in California, USA in an era of
vast therapeutic development.
