bone metastases. Cancer that has spread from a primary tumour to the bone marrow; in descending order of frequency, bone mets originate from: breast, prostate, lung, colon, stomach, bladder, uterus, rectum, thyroid, kidney. Clinical findings.
Nearly all types of cancer can spread (metastasize) to the bones. But some types of cancer are particularly likely to spread to bone, including breast cancer and prostate cancer. Bone metastasis can occur in any bone but more commonly occurs in the spine, pelvis and thigh. Bone metastasis may be the first sign that you have cancer, or bone metastasis may occur years after cancer treatment. Bone metastasis can cause pain and broken bones. With rare exceptions, cancer that has spread to the bones can't be cured. Treatments can help reduce pain and other symptoms of bone metastases.
