SUMMARY :
The rate of growth in our understanding of diseases of blood cells and coagulation proteins provides a challenge for the editors of a comprehensive textbook of hematology. The sequencing of individual genomes and the acquisition of knowledge in proteomics, metabolomics, and all the other burgeoning "-omics" fields as applied to hematologic disorders have accelerated the understanding of the pathogenesis of the diseases of our interest. The rate at which basic knowledge in molecular and cell biology and molecular immunology has been translated into improved diagnostic and therapeutic methods is equally impressive. Specific molecular targets for therapy in a myriad of hematological disorders have become reality, and it is not hyperbole to state that hematology has become the poster child for the rational design of therapeutics throughout all of medicine.
This edition of Williams Hematology includes many changes, we believe, for the better. Each chapter has been extensively revised or rewritten to provide the most current information available. Two new chapters have been added, Chapter 10 entitled Epigenetics and Genomics, to reflect the growing importance of this basic science in hematology, and Chapter 28 entitled Principles of Multipotential Cell Therapy for Tissue Replacement. In addition, several chapters have been divided, most notably the single chapter on non-Hodgkin lymphoma has been split into its constituent diseases, and the chapters on erythrocytosis and thrombocytosis have been divided into the myeloproliferative and reactive forms, to reflect our growing understanding of the pathophysiology of these disorders and more targeted approaches to their therapy. Recognizing that at the heart of hematology is blood and marrow cell morphology, we have incorporated most of the collection of 274 images that appeared in a separate section of color plates in the 7th edition (as well as additional images) into the relevant topics in each chapter, allowing far easier access to highly informative illustrations and cellular morphology.
