Soft Tissue Sarcomas
This enlightening book was written to help educate readers about soft tissue sarcomas. Sarcomas are found in muscle, cartilage, skeletal muscle, tendons, veins and arteries, skin, nerves, fat, and bone. A better understanding of the cancer of soft tissues will make it easier for patients and their loved ones to first deal--and then, ultimately, successfully live--with it. The book starts by explaining what soft tissues are, how cancers can develop in them, and why the cancers occur in the first place. It describes how soft tissue sarcomas are diagnosed and treated. This book also takes a look at some of the state-of-the-art therapies that are being explored to keep improving a patient's chance of survival and quality of life.

My 44-year-old husband was diagnosed with a Stage 3B aggressive, high-grade gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) in April. GISTs are a form of sarcoma. In addition to doing research online, I also borrowed this book from the library to hopefully find out more. This book was pretty useless. You won't find in it what you can already read online.
In fact, the book didn't even mention anything about GISTs.
