The links are from the American Soceity of Hematology (ASH) website dedicated to education. Specifically, these are the ASH educational book website and the ASH image bank website. The ASH education book provides updated comprehnsive reviews of individual topics. The ASH image bank provides hematology slides to review blood cell morphology findings. These are often linked with interesting case descriptions. Additional links are provided to the NCI website. These are links to information regarding common childhood cancers. You can browse the ASH education book topics for yourself using the following starting point: http://www.asheducationbook.org/ You can browse the ASH image bank for yourself using the following starting point: http://www.ashimagebank.org/ You can browse the NCI "cancernet" website for yourself using the following starting point: http://www.cancer.gov/cancerinformation The following links are provided to you because we feel these are excellent reviews of topics that should be part of your educational experience.
