Bone Metastases
Bone metastases is the second most common location. Radiographs or a bone scan (nuclear scintigraphy) are the common methods to diagnosis suspected metastatic sites.
Amputation and limb-spare are often options that are reserved for the primary tumor and normally not an option for bone metastases.
All treatment options are considered palliative.
- Chemotherapy may not be that effective as a stand-alone, but it is unclear of the effectiveness when combined with some of the other protocols.
