"Dr. Mehta's vision...is to be commended."

 "A book long overdue for Pediatric Hematologists, Oncologists and Transplanters. This comprehensive text deals not only with the scientific basis of transplantation and the major diseases for which transplantation is used in pediatrics, but also covers issues of patient and minor donor counseling, ethics, identification of stem cell donors, cord blood banking and transplant complications. All who work with children considering or undergoing transplantation will find this text valuable."

"Dr. Mehta has compiled a comprehensive scholarly treatise on stem cell transplantation in children. She reviews the evolving paradigms for the role of bone marrow transplantation and specifics for utilization of the procedure in settings ranging from leukemia to metabolic diseases to hemoglobinopathies. Donor issues, ethics, and the psychosocial adjustment of transplant recipients are discussed. This volume is certain to be consulted frequently by pediatric oncologists, immunologists, and consultants who care for these children."

"There are several excellent texts on hematopoietic cell transplantation. None to date have focused on pediatric issues. Yet many of the principles were developed in pediatrics and in no other group of patients have the advances in the field improved outcomes to the degree they have in pediatrics. This text is an excellent and needed contribution, with authoritative authors, a good measure of practical, up-to-date advice along with discussion of their scientific basis, and it provides comprehensive presentations of pediatric topics. This fills a gaping hole for a comprehensive resource needed by all transplant clinicians and scientists."

"This is a timely book focused on the pediatric indications and aspects of stem cell transplantation [covering] the important aspects of stem cell transplants…unique to pediatrics such as family support, psychosocial issues, cord blood cells, etc. These aspects are not usually addressed in generic transplant related books."

“Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation is a scholarly, graduate-studies level text concerning the rapidly developing medical science and process of cell transplantation as a technology and treatment approach for use with children. An extremely comprehensive reference text…Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation is especially recommended…”
