Bone metastasis cancer is a malignant tumor of bone and cartilage tissue caused by the metastasis of late-stage lung cancer. Patients will experience discomfort symptoms such as local lumps, muscle atrophy, and difficulty walking. It will cause bone damage and cause pain all over the body. Limb surgery or amputation can be performed under the guidance of a doctor depending on the severity of the disease.
