Synopsis:

Described as ‘must-have for cancer research’ by the Hospital Doctor this highly acclaimed textbook has been extensively revised and updated to reflect recent progress and understanding in the field. It is the only comprehensive source of information available on uncommon cancers; presenting diagnosis, detailed clinical management and prognosis. The Textbook of Uncommon Cancer, Third Edition incorporated 18 new chapters, including:

• Tumors of the cervix
• Esthesioneuroblastoma
• Unusual malignancies of plasma cells
• Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans

Written by leading clinicians worldwide, this title is indispensable for all those involved in the diagnosis and treatment of hard-to-manage rare tumors.

From the Back Cover: Rare tumors present a challenge to clinicians: the paucity of information available on the management and outcomes of these malignancies means that clinical decision-making is often based on data from very small populations of patients.

The third edition of this authoritative text provides current information on the biology and management of a broad range of uncommon tumors.  Contributors have provided, whenever possible, their own approach to management even in the absence of defined guidelines, in order to guide clinicians in treating specific rare tumors.

Edited by a stellar team of oncologists and with contributions from leading experts worldwide, the Textbook of Uncommon Cancer, Third Edition is an invaluable source of information on diagnosis, management and outcomes in these challenging patients.
