Hematology and oncology pearls

the long version

This text, written by fellows and reviewed by faculty at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, covers novel therapies and current techniques in this rapidly evolving field. Each vignette presents a real patient case and a clinical photo-graph; then challenges readers to formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan. The next page reveals the correct diagnosis, discusses the disorder, clinical course, and outcome of the patient, and concludes with 3-4 clinical pearls distilled from the case.
