Current Advances in Osteosarcoma

From the book reviews:

“The work is both relevant and timely as no other book fills this particular niche in the field of osteosarcoma. … book is written for students, clinicians, and scientists seeking a review of the biology of osteosarcoma. … Graduate students, medical residents and fellows, and postdoctoral researchers beginning osteosarcoma research projects will find it a very useful introduction to the broad scope of osteosarcoma science. … a worthy addition to the library of all who are interested in osteosarcoma science.” (George Calvert, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2015)
