Bone is the third most common site of metastatic neoplasia, after the lung and liver. It is estimated that today more than 10 million patients a year are affected by bone metastases worldwide. The improvement in the prognosis and survival of patients in recent years has increased the number of bone metastases, with the corresponding complications that occur at the skeletal level, such as pathological fractures or spinal compression, which are a source of concern both for the sick as well as for their environment.
