Metastatic bone disease occurs when cancer from other parts of the body—such as the lungs, breast, prostate, thyroid, or kidneys—spreads to the bones. While many assume that cancer reaching the bones marks the final stage, that is not always the case.

In this video, Dr. Nishith Praveenchandra Gupta, Consultant Oncosurgeon at Narayana Health, explains what bone metastasis really means and outlines the available treatment options that can help manage the disease and significantly improve a patient’s quality of life.

When cancer cells spread to the bones, they can cause:

Severe pain

Risk of fractures

Reduced mobility

Functional limitations

But thanks to advancements in systemic therapies such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormonal therapy, many patients are able to control symptoms and maintain daily activities. In certain situations, radiation therapy can help relieve pain and prevent fractures, while surgical intervention may be required to stabilize or remove affected parts of the bone.

Dr. Gupta discusses:

Common sites and symptoms of bone metastasis

How different primary cancers (like breast, lung, prostate) spread to bone

Modern treatment goals: pain relief, mobility, fracture prevention

When and why surgery might be recommended

The importance of a multidisciplinary approach to care

The focus is not only on prolonging life, but also on preserving comfort, mobility, and dignity for patients. Early evaluation and personalized treatment planning can allow patients to manage symptoms more effectively and continue daily routines with minimal discomfort.
