✦ Synopsis
as he must have had ample opportunity of seeing his father's cases.
This large volume deals with tumours of bone as seen and treated by a surgeon who is attached to the Bone Tumour Department of a large hospital. With the continued specialization in medicine and surgery to-day, such a book as this will be of value to the oncologist, the orthopaedic surgeon, the general surgeon, the radiologist, and the general practitioner.
In this book the clinical and radiological aspects of neoplasms of bone are stressed, and little attention is paid to the microscopical pathology.
The classification of bone tunours is that used by the Bone Sarcoma Registry of the American College of Surgeons and is a very comprehensive yet very practical one.
The various types of bone tumour are well described and illustrated, and an adequate account of the treatment to be used is given in the various chapters.
An excellent chapter devoted to the effect of radiation
