Basic and clinical associations between bone and cancer

Bone is one of the most common distant organs in which tumor cells tend to metastasize depending on complicated immune system and bone microenvironments. Clinical symptoms such as severe pain and bone fractures associated with bone metastases severely affect patients’ quality of life. According to t...
