Progress in Diagnosis and Treatment Research of Bone Metastasis in Malignant Tumors

Abstract

Bones are the most common target organs for metastasis in a variety of malignant tumors, including breast cancer and many other types of cancer that are not specifically listed, which are prone to bone metastasis. Bone metastasis can lead to various bone complications such as bone marrow compression and pathological fractures, significantly reducing patients’ quality of life. This article provides a detailed overview of diagnostic methods for malignant tumor bone metastasis, their advantages and disadvantages, and comprehensively reviews the progress in treatment of bone metastasis, particularly focusing on targeted therapies.
