Despite the absence of a metastatic potential, DT cause significant morbidity and at times mortality due to its locally invasive behaviour. The anatomical locations can be abdominal, extra-abdominal (often in the extremities) and intra-abdominal. This book is the first manuscript dedicated entirely to Desmoid Tumors. Written by prominent clinicians, researchers and advocacy group experts, patients and professionals alike will find this to be a comprehensive review. Clinical presentation, imaging guidelines and treatment paradigms are highlighted. Both the sporadic and heredity forms (Familial Adenomatous Polyposis) will be discussed. A thorough discussion on the unique issues in children with DT is included. A portion of the book will address the role of the APC gene, the β-catenin protein and the role of mutations in the genesis of DT. Emerging cutting edge research techniques will be revealed. Also included is a thoughtful discussion on the controversial labelling of Desmoid Tumors as benign and the consequence | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 关键词 | APC; Aggressive Fibromatosis; Desmoid Tumor; Familial Adenomatous Polyposis; β-catenin; surgical oncology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-1685-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-9303-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-1685-8 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 |
