Purpose: To analyze the clinical behaviors and survivorship of metastatic bone tumors.
Materials and Methods: One hundred and ninty-eight metastatic bone tumors had been diagnosed from January 1982 to December 1998. Age and sex distribution, primary cancer types. metastatic sites, duration from diagnosed of primary tumors to bony metastases and survivorship were analysed.
Results: Mean age was 57(24∼86) years old. Lung(32.3%) and breast(16.2%) cancers were two most common primary foci. The spies was the most common site of metastases especially lumbar region(38%). Survivorship analysis was done in one hundred and fifteen patients who had been followed up. The mean survival period was 15.3 months. The survivorship of hepatoma(7.1 Mons), lung(8.72 Mons) and renal cell(4.8 Mons) cancers was relatively shorter and breast cancer(54.1 Mons) longest.
Conclusion: The mean age of metastatic bone tumors of this study was older than the past reports. The axial skeletons especially spine was predominant metastatic site. The survivorship of metastatic bone tumor decreased sharply as time goes by, so early diagnosis is clue for longer survival after bony metastases.
