- Description
- Abstract: The statistical proof that most of the different forms of cancer metastasize to bone tissue from other body organs has seen to the development of several treatment regimes. These include surgery, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy and chemotherapy. The latter was established to be an effective form of treatment for secondary bone cancer. This is due to that drugs administered into the body system can reach most areas where the cancerous cells have metastasized..., Ph.D. (Chemistry)
