“This is a very interesting book centered on bone metastases from prostate cancer, edited and authored by a multidisciplinary team with specific experience in the field. … The interest of the book increases because many new tools have recently been added to the diagnostic and therapeutic paraphernalia, giving hope also to patients surviving with a very bad quality of life and with a rapidly negative fate.” (Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 46, 2019)
