A comprehensive survey of the current state-of-the-art in
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for malignant disease. The
authors focus on the indications and results of transplantation for
acute leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, lymphoma, multiple
myeloma, and breast cancer. Special attention is given to
transplant-related complications, including the pathophysiology and
clinical consequences of acute and chronic GVHD, delayed immune
reconstitution leading to infectious complications, and organ damage
to the lung and liver. Additional chapters address the sources of stem
cells and the effects of graft manipulation used to eliminate residual
contaminating tumor cells in autologous transplantation, or to reduce
the number of T lymphocytes causing GVHD in allogenic transplantation.
