Sarcomas are malignant tumors made of cancellous bone, fat, cartilage, muscle, vascular tissues or hematopoietic tissues. Sarcomas are classified into different types based on the type of tissue they closely resemble. Osteosarcoma, liposarcoma, chondrosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma resemble the bone, fat, cartilage and smooth muscle respectively. Sarcomas are further classified depending on the presence and frequency of certain cellular and subcellular characteristics typical of malignant biological behavior. Low-grade sarcomas are treated surgically, or with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Intermediate-grade and high-grade sarcomas are addressed with a combination of all such therapies. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the assessment of sarcoma. The various advancements in its treatment are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in oncology at various levels.
