Stability and symptoms
If there is pain, neurological symptoms or suspected fracture risk, prompt medical assessment is important. Depending on the site, orthopaedics, radiation oncology and other specialties may be involved.
Local treatment
Radiotherapy and, in selected cases, surgical or interventional procedures can be used for local control and stabilisation.
Systemic treatment
Treatment of the underlying cancer is guided by the primary tumour, tumour biology and previous therapies. Bone-directed medicines may also play a role depending on the situation.
Immunotherapy
Whether an approved immunotherapy is appropriate depends on the underlying tumour type and not solely on the presence of bone metastases.
Have your records reviewed in context
For structured orientation, existing findings, histology, current imaging, previous treatments and – where available – molecular results can be brought together. This can help identify which questions should be clarified with the treating oncologist and which additional immuno-oncology information may be relevant.
