Rely on the unique vignette format of the Pearls Series® to explore key elements in the management of hematologic and oncologic conditions! This text, written by fellows and reviewed by faculty at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, covers novel therapies and current techniques in this rapidly evolving field. Each vignette presents a real patient case and a clinical photo-graph; then challenges readers to formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan. The next page reveals the correct diagnosis…discusses the disorder, clinical course, and outcome of the patient…and concludes with 3-4 clinical pearls distilled from the case. The interactive format makes reading fun—and the patient cases offer "pearls of practice" not found in standard texts! * Examines essential facts about hematologic and oncologic disorders as well as clinical information relevant to the specific patient discussed in the case.

* Features a consistent patient-case approach in the proven format of the popular Pearls Series®.

* Helps readers to interpret imaging studies and clinical photographs with an illustration in most cases.
