Preface
Chemotherapy for Leukemia: Novel Drugs and Treatment covers the most recent progress in chemotherapy for leukemia and related diseases, including promising studies that are still in progress. The book consists of three parts: 1 . Molecular targeted therapy 2. Novel chemotherapeutic agents, including antimetabolite analogues 3. Therapy targeting leukemic stem cells Every drug presented will be of great interest to hemato-oncologists. The focus is on the drug and not treatment protocols. The book is designed to be a practical guide for drug selection decisions, and drugs are described basically, pharmacokinetically, and clinically by leading experts in each field. I will be very happy if this book helps hemato-oncologists to cure, or improve the outcomes of, leukemia patients. I would like to thank very much the contributing authors from many countries for providing their input despite their busy schedules and Dr. Takahiro Yamauchi for his excellent scientific advice. Thanks are also due to Ms. Yoko Arai for the proposal to publish this book and her editorial advice, Ms. Tamaki Yamamoto and Ms. Makie Kambara for the editorial assistance, and Ms. Juri Hashimoto,
