About Bone Metastasis in Hyderabad
Bone metastasis occurs when cancer cells originating from a tumour elsewhere in the body, most commonly the breast, prostate, lung, kidney, or thyroid, travel through the bloodstream and establish secondary growths within the bone. Once cancer cells settle in the bone marrow, they disrupt the normal balance between bone-building and bone-dissolving cells, leading to either weakened, destructive lesions or abnormally dense bone formation depending on the cancer type. This process significantly weakens the affected bone, making it prone to pain, fracture, and elevated blood calcium levels. Bone metastasis is a marker of advanced cancer and is typically detected using bone scans, PET imaging, MRI, or CT scans.
