Opis

This book is quick guide on the hematopoietic stem cell transplant (SCT), also called bone marrow transplant (BMT) - an evolving field of hematology and hemato-oncology. This book covers the various types of stem cell transplants like autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplants, indications, ways of doing a transplant, and stem cell transplants basic principles. Written in a  question-answer format, readers will find it more interesting as one question sequentially leads to another. This book explains the complications of SCT in individual chapters along with the biology of T cells which are the most important cells involved in the success of SCTThis book is beneficial to the budding hematologists, oncologists, and postgraduates interested in SCT and helps students in their exams. The book would be helpful for readers globally as SCT is a procedure done worldwide and is an ever-increasing field for treating various benign and malignant hematological diseases.

During his senior residency from Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, he developed keen interest in hematology. He did his DM (Clinical Hematology) from the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. He worked as Senior Consultant and Head of the Department in the Department of Hemato-oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation at BLK-MAX Superspeciality Hospital, New Delhi. Currently he is heading the Department of Hemato-oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation at Venkateshwar Hospital, Dwarka, New Delhi. He has a vast experience in hematopoietic stem cell transplants spanning over 15 years. He has special interest in the management of hematological malignancies and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. He has more than 70 publications in peer-reviewed national and international journals and chapters in books. He is also the reviewer for various journals. He is also the author of the best selling hematology multiple choice questions book for medical graduates and hematology residents preparing for various entrance exams titled – MCQs in Hematology. He is a great teacher and has trained DNB students, Fellows and Registrars in clinical hematology and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Dr Sharma has also received the Best Citizen of India Award.
