Future Treatment of Bone Metastases

Abstract: All bone surfaces are periodically remodeled by the coupled and balanced action of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, of which the activities are regulated by a variety of cytokines and growth factors. Patients with cancer metastatic to the skeleton often develop osteolytic bone lesions, in which the actions of osteoclasts and osteoblasts remain coupled, but become imbalanced in sites adjacent to the tumor. The result is net bone loss. Many cancers secrete osteoclast-stimulating cytokines, which increase bone resorp… Show more

“…(5,26,27) Osteolysis by activated osteoclasts leads to the release of growth factors stored in the bone matrix. (8) Because TGFβ is abundant in the bone matrix, the critical role of TGFβ has been indicated in the development of bone metastasis.…”

“…Detailed consideration of the range of established and investigational strategies for treating bone metastasis in malignancy is outside the scope of this review, although these have been amply reviewed elsewhere [59,60]. However, of note in terms of an established class of bone-preserving agents are the bisphosphonates.…”
