The Danger Of Bone Metastases: When Cancer Spreads

Season 21, Episode 1 of 5

Advanced cancer is among the most frightening conditions in modern medicine. But when common cancers like tumors of the breast, prostate and lung spread, they often spread to the bone called bone metastasis. And some cancers like multiple myeloma begin in the bone marrow. When cancer goes into the bones there are often debilitating complications like excruciating pain and decreased mobility. But there are ways to treat these complications to help cancer survivors live a healthy life. In this program, we will highlight the advances made in managing bone metastasis, see why clinical trials are so important and encourage all cancer patients to work closely with their health care team.
