Bone metastases frequently cause fractures and pain. Effective treatments include radiotherapy, bisphosphonates for breast cancer patients, and surgery for fractures, with careful patient selection crucial for minimizing complications.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Orthopedics
  • Radiotherapy

Context:

  • Bone metastases are a common complication of cancer.
  • They lead to significant morbidity, including fractures, hypercalcemia, and spinal cord compression.

Purpose:

  • To outline current treatment strategies for bone metastases.
  • To highlight the role of radiotherapy, bisphosphonates, and surgery.

Summary:

  • Treatment is multimodal, depending on the primary cancer and local complications.
  • Radiotherapy (8 Gy in 1 fraction) effectively palliates pain and treats complications.
  • Bisphosphonates are standard for breast cancer bone metastases to prevent skeletal-related events.
  • Surgery is increasingly used for fractures and prophylaxis, requiring careful patient selection.
