| Summary |
Tumors and cancers are insidious diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that extend beyond their usual boundaries and disrupt the normal functions of affected organs. Forming the third of the four volumes devoted to tumors and cancers, this volume focuses on the skin, musculoskeletal and urogenitary systems. Each chapter presents a state of art review of a particular tumor/cancer in relation to its definition, biology, epidemiology, disease mechanism/pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis |
