This book systematically treats the tumors of bones and soft tissues. An expert in the fields of pathology and orthopedic surgery, Professor Campanacci describes these tumors in terms of the pathological, clinical, radiographic, and therapeutic points of view. The introductory chapter deals with the classification, frequency, diagnostic tools, biopsies, and therapeutic strategies for these tumors. Following the histological classification, the author describes the primary, secondary, and metastatic tumors, and pseudotumoral lesions in detail. Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors stems from both Professor Campanacci's 30 years of experience and from the clinical records of 15,000 studied and verified cases of the Instituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, the largest orthopedic clinic in Italy. The book contains illustrations of all varieties of tumors, with special emphasis on those cases which exemplify the typical tumors encountered in daily clinical practice. For the English edition the book has been completely revised and updated. The bibliography has been trimmed down to include only the most significant and recent publications. The addition of uniform subtitles makes this edition more concise and comprehensible. Zdroj anotace: Web obalkyknih.cz
