Now updated and expanded, this new edition includes detailed information on the most recent advances in the field, incorporating a vast amount of new cytogenetic as well as molecular genetic data from the latest basic and clinical investigations. Edited by two leading authorities, who are now aided by a panel of internationalexperts, this new edition has been updated to include: Greatly expanded coverage of solid tumors Enhanced coverage of acute and chronic myeloproliferative disorders The latest findings on acute and chronic lymphoproliferative disorders Cancer Cytogenetics, Third Edition is a valuable resource for researchers in a wide range of fields, including cytogenetics, medical and molecular genetics, cellular and molecular biology, oncology, and hematology. With its complete coverage of thecytogenetic mechanisms underlying neoplasia, and always with a keen eye on the clinical consequences of the various acquired genetic aberrations, this text will alsobe an indispensable reference for all clinicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients.
