## BACKGROUND. Breast carcinoma commonly metastasizes to the skeleton in patients with advanced disease to cause bone destruction and the associated pain, hypercalcemia, fracture, and nerve-compression syndromes. In this scenario, the bone destruction is mediated by the osteoclast. Tumor-produced
## BACKGROUND. Patients with metastatic disease to the bone present a management challenge. Of the complications encountered in these patients, the predominant types that require surgical intervention are pathologic or impending fractures and neurologic compromise secondary to cord compression fro
