Skeletal Metastatology: Scientific Principles and Advanced 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.

Authors

Francis Youngin Lee Orthopaedic Oncologist, Yale School of Medicine, USA. Dr. Lee, MD, PhD is an orthopaedic oncologist, at Yale School of Medicine, who has been an organizer for the annual symposium on metastatic cancers and pathological fractures at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeon from 2018-2020. This symposium was attended by 400 orthopaedic surgeons with great feedback. In addition, Dr. Lee has developed new minimally invasive combinatorial interventional oncology + orthopaedic surgery. Dr. Lee has been presenting his work at the Interventional Radiology Meeting. Furthermore, Dr. Lee is a very rare surgeon whose academic research programs on bone repair and cancer-induced bone loss are funded by National Cancer Institute and National Institute of Health Arthritis, Musculoskeletal, and Skin Disorders. As a multi-faceted surgeon scientist, Dr. Lee can recruit many high-profile contributors for Epidemiology, Biology, Biomechanics, Pharmacology, Pathology, Radiation Oncology, Interventional Radiology, Orthopaedic Oncologists, Pain Specialists, and Neuro Surgeons.
