One hundred and sixty-three cases of metastatic bone tumor, in which the primary lesions were recognized, were investigated statistically. Fourty-four patients received surgical treatments, e i. internal fixation with or without bone cement, external fixation to the patients whose general status was poor, laminectomy or spondylodesis to the patients showing a rapidly progressive paralysis, femoral head replacement to the patients with metastatic lesion of the femoral head and the neck, and amputation or disarticulation in cases with extraskeletal invasion of tumor cells showing no indication of surgical intervention. The majority of patients were relieved from pain, however most of them died within a year after surgical therapies. The survival period did not seem to depend on the methods of therapy but chiefly on the biological characteristics of the tumors. Reconstructive surgical treatment was thought to be indicated to the patients with metastatic lesions from prostatic or mammary cancer who had showed relatively long survival period.
