Oncodynamic Changes in Skeleton
Abstract
When cancers are present in bone, a number of complex changes occur that can alter the physiology and structure of the skeleton. To properly understand these oncodynamic processes—how the bone changes in response to cancer cell invasion—it is necessary to define the types of cells that are present in normal bone, to explore the main physiological functions of these cells and of the bone itself, and to describe the types of cancers that often …
