Please note that the cancer of following organs can metastasize to bone:
Cancer of Breast,Lung,Prostate,Lung,Cancer of Bladder,Cancer of Thyroid and Renal cell Cancer.
These cancer can invade bone and cause metastatic deposits usually once bone metastases is there the stage goes to stage 4 (advanced stage)and the treatment or management will change from surgical approach to chemotherapy with or without Radiotherapy.
