Cancer Risk and Incidence Trends: The Connecticut Perspective

seventh chapter considers clinical aspects of the disease, with an emphasis on Kaposi's sarcoma as it relates to AIDS. Two color plates depict nodular and oral lesions. Features of Kaposi's sarcoma distinguished on radiographs are presented next, with extensive illustrations. Finally, the treatment of the tumor is considered in a discussion of radiation therapy for AIDS patients and in a more general, but brief, discussion of chemotherapy. Kaposi's Sarcoma: Pathophysiology and Clinical Management is well referenced and well organized. It is also quite readable and of a manageable size, although this feature creates an unnecessary brevity in a few areas. The volume will be a useful addition to the bookshelves of physicians and medical students interested in AIDS, oncology, dermatology, pathology, and the etiology of multifactorial oncogenesis.
