The Biology of Skeletal Metastases /
Metastasis to bone is a common event in cancer. However, due to the skeleton's unique structure, exploring how cancer cells target the skeleton and interact with the bone microenvironment is challenging. The Biology of Skeletal Metastases covers areas that are important to both clinicians and b...
