    Peter F.M. Choong, editor.
    Summary: This book aims to compile an expert text on the multidisciplinary approach to treating sarcoma at a sarcoma centre. Separate chapters and sections highlight the specialist diagnostic and therapeutic approaches employed in treating bone and soft tissue sarcoma. This comprehensive book covers sarcoma and its management across specialties. It brings together the experience of the editor at a major centre for sarcoma management in Australia along with chapter contributions from various experts on the topic. The real-life, pragmatic approach is a distillation of the evidence and intends to make much of what is written translatable. This book serves as a reference for managing this tumour type and as an indispensable guide for daily use across the spectrum of providers.

    Mononuclear phagocytes are a widely distributed system of cells involved in host defense functions, immunologic reactions, disposal of unwanted organic and inorganic materials, and synthesis of biologically active compounds such as complement components and prostaglandins. The system includes early precursor cells in the bone marrow, blood monocytes, alveolar and peritoneal macrophages, sinusoidal lining cells in the spleen, and Kupffer cells in the liver. We have recently come to understand the biology of these interesting cells and the diseases they produce.
