Summary

The bone marrow (BM) is a frequent site of haematogenous spread for all types of cancer. Metastatic spread of disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) to the BM is detected in 0.2 to 12% of patients with solid tumours [1]. The variability in incidence is related to the incidence of the primary tumour and its homing behaviour [2]. Common primary tumours affecting the BM are listed below (Table 17.1).
