Management of Metastatic Bone Cancer

Management of metastatic bone cancer, where cancer spreads to the bones, involves several approaches. Treatment typically aims to relieve pain, maintain mobility, and control the disease. This can include medications like pain relievers and chemotherapy, targeted therapies that attack cancer cells, and radiation therapy to reduce tumors. In some cases, surgery may be needed to fix broken bones or remove cancerous tissue. Supportive care, such as physical therapy and support groups, is also essential. The goal is to improve quality of life while managing symptoms effectively. Regular check-ups help monitor the situation and adjust treatment as needed.
