Since the publication of our first edition of Stem Cell Transplantation for Hematologic Malignancies, Second Edition, in 2004, the field of transplantation has witnessed continued advances in the understanding of basic transplantation biology and its clinical applications. These advances have created opportunities to address the formidable challenges of transplantation across histocompatibility barriers, stem cell expansion, prevention of complications (e.g., infection, organ damage, graft-versus-host disease) and generation of graft-versus-tumor activity to eradicate residual disease.
