Recommended Readings

We are trialling a "Haematology Recommended Readings" list. Obviously, there are thousands of haematology-related publications out there and it would be too ambitious for us to try to compile a comprehensive listing.

Rather, we are aiming to build up a smaller, selective list of publications by inviting you to tell us what should be on that list.

Please send us the reference details of a publication you recommend as a useful/interesting read. You can send more than one by resubmitting the form. You do not need to be an HSANZ member to do this.

• A paper which presents a relatively new classification of myeloproliferative syndromes.

  Mayo Clin Proc. 2005; 80(9): 1220-1232
  Authors: Tefferi and Barbui

  Recommended by Dr H Pullon: "This is a September 2005 paper by Prof. Tefferi, who was one of the guest peakers at the recent HSANZ Meeting in Sydney . The paper covers some of the material he talked on in Sydney, and presents a relatively new classification of myeloproliferative syndromes, especially relevant in the wake of the Jak-2 mutation discovery. The paper is published in Proceedings of the Mayo Clinic, which is not a Journal most haematologists frequently read."
