• Any cancer may metastasize to bone, but metastases from carcinomas are the most common, particularly those arising in the following areas:

    Breast
    Lung
    Prostate
    Kidney
    Thyroid
    Colon

    Prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women are the most common types of cancers. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in both sexes. Breast cancer is the most common cancer to metastasize to bone. Any bone may be involved with metastases. Metastatic disease does not commonly spread to bone below the mid forearm or mid calf, but when it occurs in those sites, it results most often from lung or sometimes kidney cancer.
