Common Cancers That Spread to Bone
Bone metastasis is a secondary form of cancer that occurs when it spreads to your bones from a primary tumor. It is most commonly associated with breast, kidney, lung, prostate, and thyroid cancers, and certain forms of melanoma. Cancer can spread during your treatment for your primary cancer or years after you’ve completed treatment. If you are currently undergoing cancer therapy, we’ll integrate bone metastasis treatments into your current plan of care.
With You from the Start
From the moment your bone metastasis is diagnosed, our patient coordinator will guide you through what to expect. Their job is to make your visits as easy as possible. They’ll share your medical information with your doctors before your first appointment so you can have a productive first discussion and create the best care plan for you.
A Team Approach to Your Care
You’ll work with a team of experts who provide the full range of care. Doctors from our team, which include interventional radiologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, and surgical oncologists, meet regularly to review the case of each patient being treated for bone metastasis.
Setting Goals
Your bone metastasis may already affect your ability to move and maintain normal levels of activity. We’ll work with you to match treatment options to your goals, whether it's to walk unassisted, play golf, or live independently for as long as possible.
