The "How I Treat" series has been published by Blood for several decades and covers a wide variety of topics in malignant and classical hematology. While these articles are not considered to be formal guidelines, they are considered highly reputable sources of expert opinion. They cover topics ranging from commonly encountered hematologic conditions with a large evidence base, to very rare conditions with only case reports to guide treatment. The purpose of this page is to consolidate the links to all known published How I Treat articles.

In the first two sections (malignant hematology and classical hematology), articles are presented by condition, in reverse chronological order. In the third section, articles are gathered under "special considerations" such as pregnancy and hematologic disease. Given the rapid change in evidence in many areas of hematology, readers are encouraged to consider any article published 5+ years ago to be for historical purposes, only.
