Microarray is in its early stage but already there have been pattern descriptions that may have prognostic implications. The impact of chromosomal abnormalities is now clearer than before, and the complicated interactionbetween the stroma cells, the myeloma cells, and numerous cytokines and their receptors has been better explained. Attempts have been made to utilize this new knowledge to develop targeted therapy and although results are still modest, improvements have been obtained with thalidomide and analogues, as well as with proteasome inhibitors. It is therefore highly appropriate that this new comprehensive reference should appear at this time.

Each chapter has been written to 'stand alone,' allowing the reader to dip into particular subject and find information quickly without the need to browse through multiple chapters.
