Treatment of Metastatic Carcinoma and Myeloma of the Femur
Overview
Overview
- The skeleton is a frequent site of metastasis in patients with cancer.
- Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy in which 70-80% of patients present with lytic lesions in the skeleton.
- Bone lesions, whether from metastatic carcinoma or multiple myeloma, can be painful and limit physical activity.
- They may require radiation therapy, surgery or both.
- Metastatic carcinoma or myeloma bone lesions that progress to pathologic fracture diminish functional capacity and quality of life and can potentially reduce overall survival.
