Product Description
The diagnosis of bone tumors is extremely difficult and can only be managed in close cooperation between the radiologist and pathologist. Bone tumors in children and adolescents are exceptionally difficult due to the age factor of the patients. Unlike the many other monographs on bone tumors, this one concentrates solely on bone tumors in children and includes many tumor-like bone lesions that have similar clinical and radiological symptoms. It is especially written for the front-line physicians - pediatricians, orthopedic surgeons and radiologists - who need help with the differential diagnosis of these conditions. The authors have pooled a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience into this monograph. The bone pathologist, Dr. Adler, describes all bone tumors and tumor-like bone lesions according to the WHO classification regarding site, age, radiological features, macroscopic appearance, histological pattern, therapy and prognosis. The pediatric radiologist, Dr. Kozlowski, delineates the topographical diagnostic approach using radiologic imaging. By referring to this text, pediatricians should be able to recognize these lesions and their pathologic-anatomic features, and radiologists and pathologists will improve their ability to achieve differential diagnosis quickly and accurately. ...

Product Description

The book features current knowledge concerning mechanisms of metastasis, the role of the bone microenvironment in cancer progression, function of inflammatory cytokines in metastasis and osteolysis, the role of osteoblasts, thus offering cellular and molecular findings that affect the search for drugs and lead to translational studies. In addition, it contains chapters on animal models for cancer, the molecular imaging of cancer cells, and bone marrow transplants. There are also chapters on bone pain and current therapeutic approaches to secondary bone cancer (i.e. the use of bisphosphonates, chemotherapy, hormone therapy), of particular relevance to the clinician.

Each chapter contains extensive bibliography, tables, diagrams and figures that clarify the skeletal complications in the cellular events that lead to cancer development and progression of disease in bone. Chapters tie insights stemming from molecular and cellular events to the clinical picture, focusing on translation of discoveries in the laboratory to the clinic which helps clinicians better understand the basis of a particular event and basic scientists to appreciate the potential importance of their research.

With chapters written by authorities in the field, the book is of interest to academic clinicians, researchers of bone and bone cancers, professional staff of hospitals and pharmaceutical houses, and personnel involved in, and concerned with, cancer care and therapy.

Product Description
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. ... Read more

Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors
This is an extraordinary book by an extraordinary author. Dr. Campanacci brings to the readers the vast experience in musculoskeletal oncology of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute in Bologna. As such, he has had at his disposal the patient records, radiographs and pathologic material dating back to 1905. The wealth of clinical material that has been accumulated at the Rizzoli Institute, with exquisite documentation and maintenance is a unique resource and testimonial to not only the author but his predecessors. This book brings to the reader an almost unparalleled experience from one of the leading centers of musculoskeletal oncology in the world.From the Foreword of William F. Enneking:This second english edition is an entirely new book. It has been thoroughly rewritten, from the first to the last word. About 30% of the pictures are new. The new book incorporates the accumulated personal experience of the Author, covering over 20.000 inpatients and many more outpatients, the perusal of the literature of the last 10 years, the recent developments in imaging (particularly MRI), microscopic diagnosis (especially immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy) and the ultimate progress in surgical and non-surgical treatment modalities.Mario Campanacci (1932-1999) was an orthopaedic surgeon and a pathologist with 40 years of experience (started in 1958 in the Laboratory of Pathology and Tumor Center of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute) focused on musculoskeletal oncology. He was Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Pathology, University of Bologna, Director of the 1st Orthopaedic Clinic and of the Tumor Centre, Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, Bologna and Director of the Graduate School of Orthopaedics, University of Bologna.

Product Description

Bone and soft tissue sarcomas represent only about 2% of all malignancies; however, their treatment – with the goal of curing the patient while preserving the functionality of the affected body part – can, unlike other malignancies, only be successful with therapy concepts devised by interdisciplinary teams. This volume provides an extensive up-to-date overview of the specific diagnostics and current treatment standards of these rare entities, presenting the various limb-sparing modalities for patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas with special regard to innovative reconstructive options. The evaluation of quality of life based on validated scores and the individual methods of coping with the illness through creative artistic projects are also acknowledged and integrated in the whole concept.

Product Description
This century's medical advances benefit physicians and patients for treating illnesses and diseases - especially diagnosing and treating cancer. For example, within the past 30 years, musculoskeletal tumor management has gone from amputations as a standard treatment option, to limb-sparing surgeries and specific chemotherapies that have a significant impact on the overall patient survival.New techniques such as diagnostics using cell and molecular tests, cytogenetics; radiological tests, better drugs to treat the cancers, improved longer-lasting reconstruction material for soft tissue attachments,have significantly impacted patient care.In this edition of Orthopaedic Clinics dedicated to orthopaedic oncology, the latest concepts in basic science and clinical medicine affecting orthopaedic oncology are reviewed. ...

Product Description
An update on current knowledge is given for surgeons and researchers involved in implant surgery and the development of implant arthroplasty. The contributions come from a distinguished international faculty of orthopaedic surgeons, biologists and engineers. They examine the junctional tissues between an implant and the bone in joint replacement surgery. The factors that influence junctional tissues and so affect the life-span of the implant are thoroughly discussed. These include: detailed data on the microscopy of the junctional tissues, the mechanical properties of cement, and the architecture of bone and implant design. The discussions following each contribution give meaningful insight into background information and the controversial aspects of surgical implants. ... Read more
