Lack of skill and resources in occupational health departments (Hungary) "We also have a staff health service, with such minimal number of people involved that it is shameful, and they themselves do not really try to break out of their limitations, with their goal being the achievement of routine checks being completed and that is about it. We have turned to them on one occasion to please make a report of the illness of workers in the hospital kitchen and even that lead to complete chaos as to what they need to do and how. They do not really care about infectious diseases. When there is a mention of contagious illness the first thing they do is call us." Informational needs assessment of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma survivors and their physicians  . Given how well this series was received, we believed it would be worthwhile providing a similar review of relevant abstracts from this year's BMT meetings. There has been dramatic progress in this field that we believe is of great interest and importance to the hematology/oncology community. There was an incredible body of work presented and it is misleading to suggest that there is a ''top 10'' list. Many more abstracts than can be presented here are worthy of discussion and recognition and any exclusion of important studies is solely a reflection of space limitation rather than quality of work. We tried to pick abstracts that were important, novel, biologically interesting, and that address either changing or controversial areas in the field. All 10 abstracts are published in full in the February 2010 issue of Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (volume 16, No. 2) and are identified here by their abstract number.
