    Abstract

    Treating patients with bone metastases from renal cell carcinoma: Bone metastases (BMs) are common and cause morbidity in cancer patients. One third of metastatic renal cancer (mRCC) patients present metastatic disease to the bone. BMs cause severe complications such as fracture, spinal cord compression and pain requiring surgery or radiotherapy. Hypercalcaemia is a common feature in mRCC as well as an established poor prognosis factor. BMs impact negatively on prognosis and affect quality of life. Correct management of BMs from RCC requires a multimodal evaluation to optimize care and quality of life. In this review, we discuss current evidences on the role of systemic treatments in BMs management, bone-targeting agents benefits in skeletal-related events prevention and local therapeutic approaches to BM in mRCC. Define prognosis of systemic disease and identify the main goal of treatment are crucial for the selection of the best strategy.
