Overview[edit | edit source]
Bone metastases (also known as "metastatic bone disease"), is a class of cancer metastases that results from primary tumor invasion to bone. Bone-originating primary tumors such as osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma are rare. Bone metastases cause severe pain, characterized by a dull, constant ache with periodic spikes of incident pain.[1] Bone metastases are common and result in significant morbidity in patients with metastatic disease.
Classification[edit | edit source]
The table below summarizes the different type of metastatic invasion on the bone.
