Multimodal Imaging-Based Potential Visualization of the Tumor Microenvironment in Bone Metastasis

Bone metastasis (BM) is the most common malignant bone tumor and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for patients with cancer. Compared to other metastatic organs, bone has unique characteristics in terms of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Precise assessments of the TME in BM could be a...
