Bone metastasis is a condition that occurs when cancerous cells from a non-bone site travel, i.e. metastasize, to bones. The spine, particularly the lower spine, the pelvis, and the thighs, are the most common sites for bone metastases. Bone metastasis can cause urinary and bowel incontinence, due to it being located quite close to both the urinary bladder and the rectal column, as well as hypercalcemia. While all cancers can manifest in this way, breast and prostate cancers are the likeliest sources of bone metastasis ? 65-75% of patients suffering from breast or prostate cancers experience bone metastasis. The bone metastasis is not often targeted as a separate physiological condition, with the treatment of the original cancer remaining the top priority despite the metastasis. The pain resulting from bone metastases can, however, be combated with pain medication such as narcotics.
