This textbook is both a comprehensive and a quick reference guide to the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic disorders and pediatric oncology. In the field of hematology and neonatology understanding of physiology of a newborn, especially preterm, has posed new challenges in diagnostic as well as therapeutics. The physiological changes occurring at different age, at the time of birth and thereafter, have necessitated understanding the dynamics of changes in neonatal period. This book provides information about 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.The user-friendly, visually stimulating format features numerous tables and ample illustrations, including color plates showing hematologic conditions of neonatals. 1.
