| Abstract

Patients with haematological malignancy often undergo the most rigorous treatments, usually requiring long inpatient stays at tertiary referral centres. This volume draws on the expertise of the haematologist, who is vital if the patient is to have optimal care, and offers practical advice in an easy accessible form.
