A member asked:

How bad is it when a person's bone cancer spreads to the lungs?

Dr. Michael Thompson answered

Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Cancer type?: Many cancers spread (metastasize) to the lungs. Bone cancer is uncommon in adults. Primary cancers from one area (eg, lungs, breast, prostate) may spread to the bones and lungs, which is a more common scenario.
