To my children Jonathan and Danielle, who define the essence of my daily life.

To Jack, my brother and trusted friend.

To my patients and their families,

from whom I learn the meaning of compassion, courage and caring.

The purpose of this book is to integrate the most re- cent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pedi- atric bone and soft tissue sarcomas. The book is di- vided into two major sections, the first of which pres- ents salient concepts in epidemiology, the impact of novel tools in imaging and molecular biology, and the underlying principles for continued drug develop- ment. In the second section, the book embarks on an up-to-date survey of the diagnosis and treatment of each specific disease, with particular emphasis on the need for an integrative, multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment.

I am indebted to my colleagues and collaborators who have contributed their ideas, time, and knowl- edge to this project. I am also grateful for the contri-

butions and support of my colleagues and friends at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. In particular, I would like to thank Drs. George Buchanan, Charles Pratt, William Crist, David Parham, Jim Anderson, and Larry Kun for their friendship, mentorship, and wisdom. Their teachings will continue to be an end- less source of passion and inspiration. It is my wish that this book will provide answers, guidance and hope to medical professionals, children, and their families.
