Soft Tissue and Bone Tumours is the third volume in the 5th edition of
the WHO series on the classification of human tumors. This series (also known
as the WHO Blue Books) is regarded as the gold standard for the diagnosis of
tumors and comprises a unique synthesis of histopathological diagnosis with digital and molecular pathology. These authoritative and concise reference
books provide indispensable international standards for anyone involved in the
care of patients with cancer or in cancer research, underpinning individual
patient treatment as well as research into all aspects of cancer causation,
prevention, therapy, and education.
This volume will be of particular interest to pathologists, oncologists,
surgeons, and epidemiologists who manage or research soft tissue and bone
tumors. Sections are included on all recognized neoplasms of the soft tissue
and bone, as well as on genetic tumor syndromes affecting these sites. Since
the previous edition, there have been changes based on recent molecular and
genetic information, with impact on clinical practice.
