The editors have recognized the increasing importance of transplantation to hematologists; the section on Stem Cell Transplantation in this volume has been expanded in size, almost threefold since the second edition. As many as 14 chapters in this edition are devoted to stem cell transplantation. This emphasis reflects the growth and importance of this area to the discipline of hematology. Phil McGlave from the University of Minnesota was added to their editorial board for the purposes of enhancing their expertise in transplantation. He has selected a wonderful group of authors who have made important contributions to the text. The area of stem cell transplantation has blossomed over the last decade. The indications for high-dose chemo-radiotherapy and stem cell transplantation have been extended and the management of transplant recipients markedly improved. The use of alternative donor grafts and the engineering of allogeneic and autologous grafts have been areas of particular focus. This information is summarized in this edition and is important to all practicing hematologists.
