Bone Mineral Metabolism in Cancer /

The introduction of new methods for studying the plasma state, renal handling, and kinetics of calcium and inorganic phosphate has rendered possible a more efficient and appropriate approach to the problems of bone-tissue metabolism and more ade quate investigation of the pathogenesis of its miscell...
