Abstract:
The means and results of treatment of 113 patients with neoplastic metastases into the bone were presented. Conservative and surgical treatment was employed in 65 and 48 patients respectively. The use of bony cement and of connecting elements (so called neoplastic prostheses included) have broaden possibilities of surgical treatment. The pain was reduced usually even eliminated in all the patients. Most of them regained function of the extremity involved, some of them returned to their previous occupation. The longest survival period was observed in patients with kidney cancer metastases.
