Development Of BONE METASTASIS In Men With PROSTATE CANCER ' #osteology

Bone Metastasis.... When cancer cells spread to the bones (bone metastases), they can cause many problems such as pain, broken bones, or more serious problems. Almost all cancers can spread to the bone, but cancers that often spread there include breast, lung, prostate, kidney, melanoma, ovarian, and thyroid. Most patients with metastatic bone disease survive for 6-48 months. In general, patients with breast and prostate carcinoma live longer than those with lung carcinoma. Patients with renal cell or thyroid carcinoma have a variable life expectancy. Many men experience bone related problems as a result of prostate cancer or its treatment. Among other things, the spread of the prostate cancer to the bones (bone metastases) can cause severe pain and fractures (bone breaks). Hormonal therapy for prostate cancer can also cause bone loss, fracture, and joint pain. #bones #metastasis #prostatecancer #3dvideo #animation #osteology
