In the Shadow of the Nobel Prize presents researchers that have been instrumental in the modern development of medicine, focusing on the fields of clinical hematology, cancer research and transplantation. Gösta Gahrton tells stories of meetings with researchers that he thinks have been worthy of the Nobel Prize, but who have not received it, without revealing anything that has been discussed in the Nobel committee, of which he was a member for 10 years, thus obeying the 50-year secrecy rule.

During the past decade there has been an enormous increase in knowledge of multiple myeloma and related disorders, reflected in the publication of more than 5000 articles on the subject in scientific journals. Much of this has come about as new technologies have made it possible to refine studies on chromosomes and genes and to gain information about gene expression. It is therefore highly appropriate that this new comprehensive reference should appear at this time. The book covers the whole field of multiple myeloma, and also related diseases such as Waldemstr&öm&’s macroglobulinaemia, and incorporates both the basic science underlying the diseases and their clinical management. Each chapter has been written to &’stand alone&’, allowing the reader to dip into a particular subject and find information quickly without the need to browse through multiple chapters. In addition to the developments described above, all of which are considered here, many other approaches to targeted therapy are reviewed.
This encyclopedia will define the issues that surround cancer and its effects on society.

Presents the current knowledge of the biology and immunology of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and how it relates to the pathogenesis, diagnosis and oratory and therapy of this common form of leukemia - focusing on laboratory and clinical research and the state-of-the-art approach to patients with CLL. immunity in CLL, evaluates the immunologic and therapeutic implications of cross-reactive idiotypes in CLL and provides evidence for clonal evolution and its clinical relevance. Referenced with nearly 1650 bibliographic citations, this book should prove a valuable resource for oncologists, hematologists, immunologists, pathologists, infectious disease specialists, internists and molecular biologists.
