Tumors (i.e., Malignant Schwannoma, Neurosarcoma or Neurogenic Sarcoma), Rhabdomyosarcoma; Chondrosarcoma

Primary cancers responsible for _________ of all bone metastases include prostate, breast, lung,
kidney, gastrointestinal, and melanoma
75%
Although all the factors that affect the timing and location of metastasis are not known, bone tissue contains several _____________ that can stimulate the proliferation of tumor cells that may metastasize to these sites
growth factors
common sites for breast cancer to metastases
- pelvis
- ribs
- vertebrae
- proximal femur
what is the most common source of skeletal metastases in men
prostate
______________ can metastasize to the bone early in the disease, remaining asymptomatic until
widespread dissemination has taken place; therefore, treatment is often unsuccessful
lung cancer
Neoplasms in the kidney metastasize to
the vertebrae, pelvis, and proximal femur in about
40% of cases.
