Bone metastases and breast cancer

Bone metastases or ‘bone mets’ occur when cancer cells from the primary (breast) tumour relocate to the bone.  Bones are the most common site of recurrence for breast cancer.

In this session our presenter, Dr Bianca Devitt, Medical Oncologist, will outline common symptoms, how bone metastases are diagnosed, what treatment options are available and new treatments on the horizon.

There will be an opportunity to ask general questions.

Breast cancer is an area of special interest to Bianca and she is actively involved in clinical trials as a principal and a co-investigator. She has a public appointment at Eastern Health and works at both Box Hill and Maroondah hospitals.
