DESCRIPTION:
This book offers a comprehensive overview of both diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue tumors, ranging from imaging and pathological work-up to non-surgical treatment options and limb salvage surgery.
In the first part readers will learn currents concepts, controversial areas and future perspectives in the classification, diagnostics and treatment of soft tissue tumors. The second part is entirely devoted to the presentation of several clinical cases grouped together by anatomical region. On the whole, this work not only shares the most up-to-date knowledge but also envisions a more philosophical and in-depth approach to this challenging group of tumors.
Written by internationally renowned experts in the field, this volume is a must-read for senior orthopedic surgery residents, orthopedic oncology fellows and orthopedic oncologists. It will further appeal to musculoskeletal pathologists and radiologists as well as clinical, pediatric and radiation oncologists, wishing to deepening their knowledge of soft tissue tumors.
