Clinical Significance of Bone Metastases in Pleural Mesothelioma
BoM in PM occurs less frequently than in primary lung cancer, with non-epithelial histology being more commonly associated with BoM. Patients with BoM had a poor prognosis, particularly when BoM was present at diagnosis. This study is limited by its retrospective design, which may introduce biases related to data collection and patient selection. Future prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.
