Introduction Metastatic cancer is the most common reason for a destructive bone lesion in adults carcinomas that commonly spread to bone include breast lung thyroid renal prostate Epidemiology incidence bone is the third most common site for metastatic disease (behind lung and liver) demographics metastatic bone lesions are usually found in older patients (> 40 yrs) locations common sites of bony metastatic lesions include spine > proximal femur > humerus most common site of mets is thoracic spine 2nd most common site of mets is proximal femur proximal femur is also the most common site of fracture secondary to metastatic bone lesions 65% nonunion rate 50% in femoral neck, 20% pertrochanteric, 30% subtrochanteric Pathophysiology mechanism of bone destruction osteolytic bone lesions caused by tumor induced activation of osteoclasts occurs through the RANK, RANK ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegrin pathway PTHrP positive breast cancer cells activate osteoblastic RANKL production osteoblastic bone metastases due to tumor-secreted endothelin 1 Associated conditions metastatic hypercalcemia a medical emergency symptoms include see presentation below treatment hydration (volume expansion) loop diuretics bisphosphonates Prognosis median survival in patients with metastatic bone disease thyroid: 48 months prostate: 40 months breast: 24 months kidney: variable depending on medical condition but may be as short as 6 months lung: 6 months Principles of Metastasis Mechanism of metastasis tumor cell intravasation E cadherin cell adhesion molecule (CAM) on tumor cells modulates release from primary tumor focus into bloodstream PDGF promotes tumor migration avoidance of immune surveillance target tissue localization chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) in the stromal cells bone marrow acts as homing chemokine to certain tumor cells and promote targeting of bone attaches to target organ endothelial layer via integrin cell adhesion molecule (expressed on tumor cells) extravasation into the target tissue uses matix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to invade basement membrane and ECM induction of angiogenesis via vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression genomic instability decreased apoptosis thrombospondin inhibits tumor growth Mechanism of vascular spread Batson's vertebral plexus valveless venous plexus of the spine that provides a route of metastasis from organs to axial structure including vertebral bodies, pelvis, skull, and proximal limb girdles arterial tree metastasis mechanism by which lung and renal cancer spread to the distal extremities Mechanism of bone lysis oncogenic cell releases cytokines IL-6, IL-11, PTHrP, TGF-beta PTHrP and TGF-beta activate osteoblasts osteoblasts secrete RANKL, that binds to RANK on osteoclasts and activates osteoclasts Mechanism of bone sclerosis (prostate and breast mets) prostate cancer cells secrete endothelin 1 (ET-1) ET-1 binds to endothelin A receptor (ETAR) on osteoblasts and stimulates osteoblasts ET-1 decreasesWNT suppressor DKK-1 activates WNT pathway, increasing osteoblast activity Symptoms Symptoms pain may be mechanical pain due to bone destruction or tumorigenic pain which often occurs at night pathologic fracture occurs at presentation in 8-30% of patients with metastatic disease metastatic hypercalcemia confusion muscle weakness polyuria & polydipsia nausea/vomiting dehydration Physical exam neurologic deficits caused by compression of the spinal cord in metastatic disease to the spine Evaluation Workup for older patient with single bone lesion and unknown primary includes imaging plain radiographs in two planes of affected limb CT of chest / abdomen / pelvis technetium bone scan to detect extent of disease myeloma and thyroid carcinoma are often cold on bone scan - evaluate with a skeletal survey labs CBC with differential ESR basic metabolic panel LFTs, Ca, Phos, alkaline phosphatase serum and urine immunoelectrophoresis (SPEP, UPEP) biopsy in patients where a primary carcinoma is not identified, obtaining a biopsy is necessary to rule out a primary bone lesion should not treat a bone lesion without tissue diagnosis of the lesion metastatic adenocarcinoma not identified by CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis is most likely from a small lung primary tumor Imaging Radiographic recommended views AP and lateral of involved area findings purely lytic or mixed lytic/blastic lesions lung, thyroid, and renal are primarily lytic 60% of breast CA is blastic 90% of prostate CA is blastic cortical metastasis are common in lung cancer lesions distal to elbow and knee are usually from lung or renal primary CT scan helpful to identify metastatic lesions to the spine MRI useful to show neurologic compromise of the spine Studies Histology characteristic findings epithelial cells in clumps or glands in a fibrous stroma immunohistochemical stains positive Keratin CK7 (breast and lung cancer) TTF1 (lung cancer) Receptor status can provide therapeutic targets during concomitant medical management estrogen, progesterone, and HER2/neu receptor status is essential for treating metastatic breast cancer Treatment - General Nonoperative bisphosphonate therapy indications symptomatic care by preventing osteoclatic bone destruction technique IV pamidronate most commonly used chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy see table of treatment based on cancer type Operative stabilization of complete fracture, postoperative radiation goals of surgical treatment patient survives operation immediate full weightbearing implant survival > patient survival indications most complete fractures are treated if operative stabilization leads to improved quality of life technique fixation method depends on location See table of fixation methods by location postoperative radiation all patients require postop radiation unless death is imminent or area has previously been irradiated begin radiation therapy after surgery area of irradiation should include the entire fixation device (e.g. entire femur after intramedullary nailing of femoral lesion) prophylactic stabilization of impending fracture, postoperative radiation indications impending fx that meets criteria criteria for impending fractures preoperative embolization indications is indicated inpatients with renal cell carcinoma or thyroid carcinoma prior to operative intervention because these cancers are very vascular.
