Bone Metastases brings together the many recent developments that
are gradually improving the prospects for patients with secondary
involvement of the skeleton in a primary cancer elsewhere. The
morbidity from bone metastases is extensive, and the palliative and
supportive treatment that sufferers require for many months or even
years constitutes a major health problem. A multidisciplinary
approach is essential since a variety of specialists are involved:
radiation and medical oncologists, general and orthopaedic
surgeons, general physicians, radiologists and nuclear medicine
physicians, symptom control and terminal care specialists. The
book's editors, themselves authorities in the fields of oncology
and bone disease respectively, have brought together experts from
all these disciplines to provide comprehensive coverage of
metastatic bone disease. They cover the biology and
pathophysiology, hypercalcaemia, imaging, assessment of response to
treatment, types of treatment (systemic, radiotherapy, surgery),
and symptomatic and supportive care. Particularly new approaches
included are magnetic resonance imaging, the assessment of skeletal
response and isotope therapy.
