Metastatic Bone Tumors
Symptoms of Metastatic Bone Tumors
Metastatic bone tumors eventually cause bone pain, but they may not cause any symptoms for some time. The pain can be severe. Pain may occur when at rest or at night and tends to progressively worsen. Cancerous tumors gradually weaken a bone. The weakness makes it much easier for the bone to break (fracture) while doing routine activities (called a pathologic fracture).
