Management of Soft Tissue Sarcoma, 2nd Edition provides the most
comprehensive analysis of demographics and natural history
currently available for these lesions, based on the authors'
experience with over 10,000 patients. Sections regarding radiation
therapy not found in the previous text have been expanded, as have
updates on molecular characteristics of sarcomas and chemotherapy
studies published since the prior edition. Clinical and molecular
diagnoses are addressed, and tumor histopathology is employed as
the basis of treatment recommendations including surgery, radiation
and systemic therapy. This is the first book to provide specific
chemotherapy opinions for every sarcoma subtype. Written by four
world-renowned experts, this book gives a practical, up-to-date
approach to managing the many subtypes of adult soft tissue
sarcoma. Reviews from the first edition: "This is an impressive
book. Written by a surgeon, a pathologist and an oncologist, the
book draws heavily on the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
soft tissue sarcoma (STS) database. ... it is a book that should be
in the library of any sarcoma unit and will appeal to the
sub-specialist in Orthopaedic Oncology." (Robert U. Ashford,
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, Vol.
24, 2014) "The book is laid out in 27 chapters, with an impressive
inclusion of a wide array of sarcoma histology. One of the real
strengths of the book is the quality and number of images, figures,
tables, and graphs. ... The overall outline of the text is well
done. ... This book is a unique and important addition to the
sarcoma literature. ... this edtion should find itself on every
medical oncologist's bookshelf ... ." (Larry C. Daugherty and
Sanjay P. Bagaria, Journal of Radiation Oncology, Vol. 3, 2014)

The authors of this volume have put emphasis on diagnosis, so the
presentation is generally concise, yet more comprehensive on key
points. In addition, they emphasise diagnostically-important
information on immunohistochemistry and molecular genetics, and
include additional details when biologically significant.
Site-specific soft tissue entities covered in the other atlases are
often excluded due to space constraints. The text is aimed as a
practical diagnostic aid for pathologists, cytopathologists and
pathology trainees, but the authors hope that their clinical
colleagues and others may also find it as a useful source of
information on soft tissue tumours and tumour-like lesions.

Management of Soft Tissue Sarcoma addresses the diagnosis and best
current management of adult soft tissue sarcomas. Edited by world
renowned experts, this book delineates and discusses each different
sarcoma subtype individually. Both clinical and molecular diagnoses
are addressed, and tumor histopathology is employed as the basis of
treatment recommendations including surgery, radiation therapy,
systemic therapy and novel therapeutics.

This edition describes the spectrum of neoplasms, hamartomas,
hyperplasias, reactive lesions, and inflammatory pseudotumours
arising from, or associated with, peripheral nerves. Included are
lesions affecting spinal nerves and extradural portions of cranial
nerves. Specifically excluded from this discussion are lesions of
the optic nerve, a central nervous system structure. Peripheral
nerve tumours are generally classified as soft tissue tumours, but
they differ significantly from most neoplasms in this category.
Notable differences include the frequent association of nerve
sheath tumours with genetic disorders and the origin of a majority
of malignant nerve sheath tumours from neurofibroma, a benign
precursor lesion. Furthermore, tumours of peripheral nerves are
histologically diverse and arise in a complex tissue with
distinctive anatomic compartments. This volume will be a useful
reference for pathologists, residents and students for many years.
