Bone metastases in breast cancer: Screening, treatment and side effects

In the bones, metastatic breast cancer is called bone metastasis, or bone mets. The bones are the most common place for breast cancer to spread. In this session, Carmen Bergom, MD, PhD, and Katherine N. Weilbaecher, MD, share more about treatment options and strategies to limit side effects, manage bone pain, and maintain bone strength. They also discuss how to understand screening tests and share updates on clinical trials studying new treatments and quality of life.
