Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pain Management
  • Bone Metastasis

Context:

  • Bone pain is a prevalent and debilitating symptom in cancer patients.
  • Pain intensity does not always correlate with the extent of bone metastases.

Purpose:

  • To review the mechanisms of bone pain in cancer.
  • To outline current therapeutic strategies for managing cancer-related bone pain.

Summary:

  • Bone pain mechanisms involve nociceptor stimulation via halisteresis, inflammatory edema, or intraosseous pressure.
  • Treatment escalates from NSAIDs and oral opioids to invasive opioid delivery, palliative radiation, and corticosteroids.
  • Endocrine therapy, calcitonin, bisphosphonates, chemotherapy, and surgery offer pain relief for specific cancer types and complications.
