Biology and Management of Unusual Plasma Cell Dyscrasias

A key resource for non-myeloma plasma cell dyscrasias, this volume presents the latest research and developments, including novel therapies. Each disease specific chapter covers biology, disease course, and appropriate therapeutic interventions.

This unique book focuses on the non-myeloma plasma cell dyscrasias. A key resource for this group of diseases, the book features the latest in emerging knowledge and therapeutic developments, including novel therapies. Each disease-specific chapter discusses biology, disease course, and appropriate therapeutic interventions, covering plasma cell leukemia, plasmacytoma, POEMS Syndrome and Castleman's Disease, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, immunoglobin deposition disease, and cryoglobulinemic syndromes, among others. The only book dedicated to this intriguing family of diseases, Biology and Management of Unusual Plasma Cell Dyscrasias will be a long-lasting reference for clinicians and scientists alike.

The only book dedicated to this intriguing family of diseases and the latest exciting developments in novel therapies Disease-specific chapters cover biology, disease course, and appropriate therapeutic interventions Translates the knowledge grained from the study of multiple myeloma into practical applications for rarer plasma cell dyscrasias Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
