Apheresis in hematologic and oncologic disease.

R J Cohen

    Hospital Practice (Office Ed.)
    |October 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Therapeutic bloodletting, now known as apheresis, is an effective treatment for hematologic-oncologic diseases. This procedure should be reserved for cases where less invasive methods have failed.
