Exploring Bone Oncology in a Medically Underserved Area: A Retrospective Cohort of Bone Metastases and Malignant Bone Neoplasia in the Rio Grande Valley

Our initial research indicates age and body weight variations among individuals with bone metastases and PMBN in the RGV, as well as differences in frequency of bone metastases and PMBN in this medically underserved region compared with the general US population. Despite the limited sample size, our results necessitate further exploration in a larger cohort to elucidate any demographic and clinical differences in bone metastases and PMBN subtypes in medically underserved areas.
