β¦ Synopsis
We have treated six patients with cancer metastatic to the hand. All patients died within 6 months after the appearance of hand metastasis. We polled the combined membership of the American Association for Surgery of the Hand and the American Society for Surgery of the Hand to determine their experience with this problem. We also reviewed the pertinent literature concerning this subject. The information obtained from the literature and the poll confirmed our experience. We have managed these patients by amputation, feeling that reconstructive procedures were not indicated if the time necessary to rehabilitate the patient after reconstruction exceeds the patient's life expectancy.

## Background: Soft tissue sarcomas of the hand and foot present unique management challenges. the purpose of the current study study was to determine oncologic outcome, particularly with respect to factors affecting local recurrence, distant recurrence, and disease-specific survival. ## Methods:
The repair of hemopoietic bone marrow following evacuation of the tibia1 or femoral cavity of the rat was sequentially studied with the light microscope. A stereotyped train of histologic events occurred. These were capillary invasion of the cavity, appearance of primitive mesenchymal cells, osteob
