| Summary |
Osteosarcoma is a rare bone tumor that has a high incidence among children and young adults. Despite recent therapeutic developments, osteosarcomastill presents major hurdles to achieving successful results, mainly due to the presence of multi-drug-resistant cells.This monograph primarily aims to provide information about the basic science behind the treatment of osteosarcoma along with experimental results for a novel formulation that overcomes multidrug resistance, and therefore, may serve as a viable treatment option. The book starts with an updated and conciseguide to the pathophysiology of the. |
