Patients with advanced breast or prostate cancers usually develop bone metastases. The principal complications resulting from metastatic bone disease are pain, spinal cord compression, pathologic fractures and bone marrow suppression. Improving the management of bone metastases is crucial to quality of life for patients with breast and prostate cancer. Advances in understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of bone metastasis are driving the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Reviw by Edward Chow,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bone Metastasis and Molecular Mechanisms: Pathophysiology (Cancer Metastasis - Biology and Treatment) (Hardcover)
"The book's principal strength is its diversity. The chapters begin highlighting various models of breast cancer metastasis, quantitation aspects of bone metastasis, comparative morphometic techniques to study bone metastatis, microenvironment and associated pathophysiologies of bone metastasis, metastasis in the bone marrow environment, angiogenesis and lumphagiogensis. The latter chapters review the latest development of new therapies for bone metastasis. The book serves its purpose as a comprehensive review to the pathophysiology and mechanisms of bone metastasis.This book definitely provides a good glimpse of the advances in basic science to the practicing clinicians treating bone metastases. This book not only is of values to the basic scientists to further laboratory research in bone metastasis, but also helps facilitate bench to bedside research and vice versa from clinicians' perspectives."
