title: [Bone metabolic markers for evaluation of bone metastases].
abstract: Bone metabolic markers consist of bone formation markers, which are secreted from osteoblasts (BAP, OC, P1CP, P1NP) , and bone resorption markers, which are metabolites of bone type 1 collagen or secreted from osteoclasts (PYD, DPD, NTX, CTX, 1CTP, TRACP) . Those bone metabolic markers are useful for : (1) diagnosis of bone metastases, (2) follow-up during treatment of bone metastases, and (3)predicting prognosis of bone metastases.
