A Partial Index to Articles that have Appeared in ESUN

by

Bruce D. Shriver, PhD

Editor-in-Chief, ESUN

ESUN is now in its fourth year. We have received many requests to produce an annual index for it. Given the current development tools that we are using to produce ESUN and to build and maintain our website, this is a difficult manual task. We will be making a move in the autumn to new development environment in which this will be an automated task and one in which, as a side-effect, each article will be downloadable in Adobe's PDF format. Until this is done (which will be a multi-month project after it is initiated), we are providing the following “partial index” of feature articles listed in alphabetical order by title in three categories:

1. DETAILED ARTICLES ABOUT SPECIFIC SARCOMAS

2. ARTICLES OF GENERAL INTEREST

3. OPINION PIECES

Because there are literally hundreds of items and abstracts in the “Clinical Trail News”, “Odds & Ends”, “Research Corner” and "Stories of Courage and Hope" columns, we do not include them in the partial index below. We hope to provide a general search facility after our move to the new technology base is complete.
