Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bone involvement with tumors frequently occurs, and is the third most common site for tumor metastasis. Unusual cells grow out of control in patients’ bones and destroy normal bone tissue. Considering the great negative effects on the quality of life of affected patients, clinicians have been working on novel treatments. Additionally, with the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, clinicians have attempted to utilize these for the treatment of bone tumors. Nevertheless, clinicians have had to face challenges in deciding which treatment method is the most suitable and effective for each patient.
This Special Issue, "Bone Tumor: Diagnoses, Treatments and Challenges", aims to collect original contributions focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic spinal tumors, spinal trauma, intervertebral disc diseases and degenerative spinal diseases using, for example, minimally invasive spinal surgery. We hope that our work improves or sheds light on treatments of bone tumor diseases and provides better treatment for patients.
