- Abstract
The article focuses on a study on the effect of pathologic fracture on survival in patients with malignant bone disease. The study involved patients with multiple myeloma, breast, prostate or lung cancer. The study found that patients with multiple myeloma had the highest fracture incidence, followed by breast, prostate and lung cancers, respectively. Additionally, in all tumor types except lung, pathologic fracture was associated with a significant increase in risk of death and breast cancer patients had the greatest increased risk.
