Their use has also advanced our capacity to safely deliver cancer chemotherapy. Hematopoietic growth factors have become an everyday tool for the practicing oncologist. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eClinical Applications of Cytokines and Growth Factors\u003c\/em\u003e recognized experts review the biological interactions between hematopoietic progenitors, growth factors and cytokines, and the stromal micro-environment that have provided the scientific basis for our current understanding of hematopoiesis. In subsequent sections the pathophysiology of neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia are presented, along with discussions of the clinical challenges these pose for the practicing oncologist and hematologist and the roles of various hematopoietic growth factors in therapeutic strategies for these entities. \u003cbr\u003e This volume will provide a thorough and up-to-date review which will be a valuable resource for the clinical oncologist and hematologist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John R.
