Abstract

Abstract: Bone metastatic cancer is a common complication of tumor patients，and its incidence accounts for about 15%-20% of systemic metastatic cancer following the incidence of lung and liver metastatic cancer.Malignant tumors prone to bone metastasis include lung cancer，breast cancer，prostate cancer，etc.Pain is the most common clinical symptom of bone metastasis，and its early symptoms are insidious.As the disease progresses，the symptoms become worsen，and the acute pain is in the late stage，which poses a serious threat to the quality of life of cancer patients.Therefore，this paper systematically introduces the current situation of the treatment of pain from bone metastatic cancer through western and traditional Chinese medicine by reviewing domestic and foreign literatures，so as to provide suggestions and references for the clinical treatment of pain from bone metastatic cancer.

Key words: Bone neoplasms, Bone metastasis cancer, Pain, Therapy, Review

摘要： 骨转移癌是肿瘤患者常见并发症，其发病率占全身转移癌的15%~20%，仅次于肺及肝转移癌的发病率。易发生骨转移癌的恶性肿瘤包括肺癌、乳腺癌、前列腺癌等，而疼痛是骨转移癌最常见的临床症状，早期症状隐匿，随着病情进展，症状逐渐加重，晚期疼痛剧烈，给肿瘤患者的生存质量带来严重威胁。因此，本研究通过检索国内外文献，系统介绍了西医及中医治疗骨转移癌疼痛的现状，以期为骨转移癌疼痛的临床治疗提供建议和参考。
