Abstract

The article discusses the management of sex-based metastatic malignancies such as breast cancer and prostate cancer and the impact of their treatments on the bone. The author suggests that orthopaedic surgeons should understand the effects of cancer treatments such as antihormone and chemotherapy and the techniques and indications for surgical stabilization. Information on how tumor cells can damage the bone is also offered.
