This textbook focuses on uncommon cancers that are rarely covered comprehensively in general oncology texts. The first edition was published in 1988. The purpose ""is to provide a resource on the presentation, pathology, natural history, and management of unusual cancers."" The book is welcomed by busy oncologists or trainees who spend endless hours researching numerous references on rare malignancies. The goal is comprehensively met in this textbook. It is targeted to practicing oncologists and trainees in oncology. It is written at a level that is appropriate for this audience. The editors and contributors are from numerous disciplines and cancer centers from the United States and abroad. Uncommon cancers and common tumors presenting in unusual manners are covered. The chapters can be thought of as comprehensive review articles for the respective rare cancers. The references at the end of each chapter reduce the need for time consuming literature searches on obscure topics. While some of the chapters are not as comprehensive as others, this relates to the relative scarcity of information on these rare tumors. While there is some duplication of information in several chapters, this book is meant to be used as a reference and not read cover to cover. This will be an important addition to most oncologists' libraries. The unique subject matter of this book will make it an often-used reference for the study and treatment of uncommon cancer.
