12Bone Pain and Fractures

Fracture Fragile Bones

If not detected early, lung cancer can spread to the bones and may produce pain in the back or other areas. What’s more, it may lead to weakness in the bones and that could invite fractures at the slightest provocation to the bone in question.

The spread of cancer cells to the bones is called bone metastasis and it’s caused by not just cancer of the lungs but also by other types of cancer. These include breast cancer, kidney cancer, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, prostate cancer, and thyroid cancer.
