Special Issue on Bone Tumor Research

A bone tumor is a neoplastic growth of tissue in bone. Abnormal growths found in the bone can be either benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Bone tumors can be classified as “primary tumors”, which originate in bone or from bone-derived cells and tissues, and “secondary tumors” which originate in other sites and spread (metastasize) to the skeleton. Carcinomas of the prostate, breasts, lungs, thyroid, and kidneys are the carcinomas that most commonly metastasize to bone. Secondary malignant bone tumors are estimated to be 50 to 100 times as common as primary bone cancers. The treatment of bone tumors include Chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Medication, Surgical treatment and so on.As one of the most important research fields of human life, bone tumor research is of great attractions to researchers.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring bone tumor research. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Neoplastic tissue of bone
• Hamartomas
• Osteoma
• Fibrous dysplasia
• Multiple myeloma
• Chondrosarcoma
• Bone pain
• Bone scintigraphy

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission, Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Bone Tumor Research” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
