Soft Tissue Sarcomas
This enlightening book was written to help educate readers about soft tissue sarcomas.

A better understanding of the cancer of soft tissues will make it easier for patients and their loved ones to first deal--and then, ultimately, successfully live--with it. The book starts by explaining what soft tissues are, how cancers can develop in them, and why the cancers occur in the first place. It describes how soft tissue sarcomas are diagnosed and treated. This book also takes a look at some of the state-of-the-art therapies that are being explored to keep improving a patient's chance of survival and quality of life.

"The colorful photos or illustrations enhance the understanding of the text... a multipage glossary defines confusing scientific terms."
