The Danger of Bone Metastasis. When Cancer Spreads to the Bone
Description
Advanced cancer is among the most frightening diseases in modern medicine. When common cancers like tumors of the breast, prostate, and lung spread, they often enter the bone - a condition called bone metastasis. And some cancers like multiple myeloma begin in the bone marrow. When cancer gets into the bones, debilitating complications like excruciating pain and decreased mobility often result. There are now ways to treat these complications and help cancer survivors live a healthy life. This program highlights the advances made in managing bone metastasis, shows why clinical trials are so important, and encourages all cancer patients to work closely with their health-care team.
