| | Metastasis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | When cancer has metastasized, it may be treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological therapy, hormone therapy, surgery, or a combination of these. | | | Metastasis (Greek: change of the state) is the spread of cancer from its primary site to other places in the body. | | | Cancer researchers studying the conditions necessary for cancer metastasis have discovered that one of the critical events required is the growth of a new network of blood vessels. |

| | Bone Metastasis Information |
| | The goal of treatment is to decrease pain, prevent further bone breakdown and to restore function to patients with bone metastasis. | | | As well as to provide bone metastasis patients and community oncologists a clinic visit where all the opinions necessary and appropriate for this patient population will be given. | | | Bone metastasis to the long bones of the arms and legs can cause pain with activity and occasionally that pain can be relieved with rest. |

| | ACS :: How Is Bone Metastasis Treated? |
| | If you can’t have surgery to reinforce a bone affected by metastasis (because of poor general state of health, other complications of the cancers, or side effects of other treatments) a cast may help stabilize leg bones to reduce pain and avoid the need to stay in bed. | | | Although surgery to remove a primary bone tumor (one that started in the bone) is often done with the intent to cure, the purpose of treating a bone metastasis surgically is to relieve symptoms. | | | This approach is useful in treating some primary cancers and some metastases, but it is not often used for treating bone metastasis. |

| | Although experimental analysis of cancer metastasis is performed in laboratory animals, ethical considerations preclude this analysis in human patients. | | | Theoretically, the differences in site-specific brain metastasis observed among the different melanomas could be due to different behaviors at different steps of the metastatic process. | | | An understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the pathogenesis of metastasis will lead to the ability to design more effective therapy for malignant melanoma. |
