Incidence of bone metastases and survival after a diagnosis of bone metastases in breast cancer patients

open access: yesCancer Epidemiology, 2014
Background: Bone is the most common metastatic site associated with breast cancer. Using a database of women with breast cancer treated at Guy's Hospital, London 1976-2006 and followed until end 2010, we determined incidence of and survival after bone ...

BONE MARROW METASTASES

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1996
This article discusses the clinical significance of bone marrow metastases and the current methods being used to detect tumor cells in marrow. The strategies being investigated for eradicating cancer cells from marrow in patients receiving hematopoietic cell autografts also are reviewed.

Management of bone metastases

Orvosi Hetilap, 2014
The skeleton is the most common site to be affected by advanced breast, prostatic, lung, kidney, thyroid and other solid tumors (in addition to myeloma multiplex). Bone metastases cause significant morbidity with nearly always fatal outcome. Over 600 000 new patients diagnosed in the developed countries yearly.

Metastases to bones

Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, 2014
Metastatic tumors involving the bones may derive from a number of visceral primary sites, and they can assume several histological appearances. In selected instances, diagnostic confusion with some primary bone tumors may eventuate, necessitating the use of adjunctive pathologic studies to reach a final interpretation.

Radiation for bone metastases

Current Opinion in Supportive & Palliative Care, 2011
To synopsize the current state-of-the-art for radiation and treatment of painful bone metastases with a focus on prostate cancer.Although external beam radiation has long been known to palliate painful bone metastatic disease for patients with prostate cancer, new studies continue to evolve in this area.

MRI of bone metastases

European Radiology, 1998
Some knowledge of MR theory is required to be able to achieve high contrast between bone metastases and normal marrow. Three factors are used in MR to diagnose bone metastases; fat-water distribution, artifacts induced by bone trabeculae, and uptake of contrast medium.

Bone metabolic markers in bone metastases

Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 1995
The efficacy and cost/performance benefit of radionuclide bone scintigraphy in monitoring metastatic bone activity remain controversial. Recently developed bone metabolic markers are expected to play an additional role in the diagnosis of bone metastasis.

Bone Metastases Radiopharmaceuticals: An Overview

Current Radiopharmaceuticals, 2013
The skeleton is one of the preferential sites for metastases of solid tumors, and metastatic disease is the most common malignancy of the bone. Diagnosis and evaluation of skeletal metastases require more frequently a combined approach of different diagnostic methods.
