Reviews
From the reviews:
“The aim of the book is to provide both an introduction and reference book on the field of metastatic bone disease. … Each chapter is extensively referenced. The book is very clear and comprehensive. … the book achieves its twin aims and is an extremely good reference book for those people researching and managing skeletal metastases. It will appeal to researchers, orthopaedic surgeons, oncologists and students … .” (Robert U. Ashford, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, Vol. 21, 2011)
