The most important factor to consider in decision making for treatment of patients with bone metastases from carcinoma is the expected survival. For this reason it seems important to identify reliable prognostic factors in patients with bone metastases from carcinoma in order to predict long survivors requiring a more aggressive and durable surgical treatment. The most significative prognostic factors resulted to be the type of primitive tumor, the presence of visceral metastases, the number of bone metastases and the performance status of the patient.

Abstract
The most important factor to consider in decision making for treatment of patients with bone metastases from carcinoma is the expected survival. For this reason it seems important to identify reliable prognostic factors in patients with bone metastases from carcinoma in order to predict long survivors requiring a more aggressive and durable surgical treatment. The most significative prognostic factors resulted to be the type of primitive tumor, the presence of visceral metastases, the number of bone metastases and the performance status of the patient.File in questo prodotto:
