Abstract
The medical management of metastatic disease generally includes chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and metabolic pharmacologic manipulations with medications, such as bisphosphonates as well as nonoperative physical measures, such as orthoses and ambulatory or mobility aids. This comprehensive complex care is best coordinated with the medical oncologist. If well planned and coordinated, such care can improve the life of the cancer patient greatly.
