What's the life span of bone metastases ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: There are 2 factors that are important. One is the type of cancer and the second is the response to treatment. For metastatic breast or prostate cancer to bone that responds to hormone treatment it could be years. For melanoma that is not responsive it could be a few months.
