[Cases of cancer with bone metastasis treated at our department during the past 10 years].
Among 40 cases of carcinomas metastatic to the bone at our department in a 10-year period starting in 1974, symptoms of bone metastasis preceded those of primary sites in 28. As regards the primary sites of carcinomas in this series, the lung was most often involved. As to the localization of bone metastasis, involvement of the vertebrae was present in 65%. Compared with primary malignant bone tumors, carcinomas metastatic to the bone were more likely to show hematologic disorders such as anemia and leukocytosis.
