Practical Soft Tissue Pathology: A Diagnostic Approach

Dr Hornick's major research interests are soft tissue sarcomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), gastrointestinal cancers, and mastocytosis. My focus in soft tissue sarcomas includes evaluating histologic and immunohistochemical parameters that predict clinical outcome and identifying diagnostic and predictive biomarkers. He serves on 12 editorial boards and was nominated for his prolific research on soft tissue pathology, having published around 400 original papers, review articles, and book chapters
