Cancer affects most people with pain as the disease progresses, one of these being the cancer spreading to the bones - medically termed as bone metastases. As cancer progresses, bone pain caused by metastases often increases in intensity. furtunately though, there are already various options for treating this stage. Potential treatments include opioid analgesics, which are prescription narcotic pain medicines; a class of drugs called bisphosphonates, used to help strengthen bone and slow the progression of bone metastases; and external beam radiation, where physicians target a beam of radiation directly at painful bone lesions.
