'SCT is a very complex and interdisciplinary treatment modality. This book should therefore be useful not only for transplanting haematologists and immunologists but all the specialists, scientists and nursing staff who share some of the care of the transplant patients. The book has a very clear structure, is nicely presented with a good mix of text and figures.' T. Révész, Utrecht
