This Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) book explores molecular-based assays commonly used in the diagnostic hematopathology and laboratory hematology. Includes step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, materials lists, trouble shooting tips and more.

Increased knowledge on the pathogenesis of hematologic diseases has been translated into diagnostic and prognostic applications.   Hematopathology and laboratory hematology were among the first disciplines to embrace molecular diagnostics.  Hematological Malignancies:Methods and Protocols, explores molecular-based assays frequently used in the routine diagnostic hematopathology and laboratory hematology.  Many of these protocols were initially developed as research applications and were further refined as they transitioned to the diagnostic laboratory. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 Authoritative and practical, Hematological Malignancies: Methods and Protocols aids scientist in the continuing study of tests essential for contemporary laboratory diagnostics of hematological neoplasms.
