Children's Handbook of Pediatric Hematology

Since 1966, the weekly pediatric hematology conference at Boston Children’s Hospital has generated valuable clinical insights and “pearls” that are not typically documented in published references. Continuing in this tradition of practical, must-know guidance, Children's Handbook of Pediatric Hematology brings together expert perspectives and clinical pearls from leaders in the field in one comprehensive handbook. Endorsed by Boston Children's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and edited and authored by trusted leaders in the specialty, this all-new handbook is an ideal daily resource for pediatric hematology clinicians, hematologists, and fellows who are managing non-malignant hematologic disorders.
