Description
The therapy of patients with soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities has changed drastically in recent years and in many ways has mirrored changes in the entire field of oncology. "Musculoskeletal Surgery for Cancer" emphasizes the technical aspacts of treatment. It is designed to provide the orthopedic and surgical oncologist with an updated approach to the management of bone and soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities. The illustrations provide a step-by-step reference for all surgical procedures for musculoskeletal cancer, and figures of cross-sectional and surgical anatomy complement the text.
