Skeletal Metastatology: Scientific Principles and Advanced Clinical Care provides the reader critical medical knowledge and surgical skills for the management of metastatic cancers to bone and pathological fractures. This multidisciplinary approach covers the following subspecialty areas of epidemiology, molecular biology, biomechanics, imaging, radiation, computer science, interventional radiology, nutrition, pain, alternative medicine, and physiatry. Each chapter presents essential clinical cases and tables using the foundations of research to bridge the gap into clinical practice. Written by world-class international authors for orthopedic surgeons and musculoskeletal oncologists, this is a must have resource for clinical professionals who need greater understanding of the presented topics.
