Risk Evaluation of Bone Metastases and a Simple Tool for Detecting Bone Metastases in Prostate Cancer: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Population-based estimates of the incidence and prognosis of bone metastases in prostate cancer (PC) are lacking. We aimed to characterize the incidence and risk of bone metastases and develop a simple tool for the prediction of bone metastases among patients with PC.

Methods

Data were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. A total of 75698 patients with PC with confirmed presence or absence of bone metastases at diagnosis between 1975 and 2019 in the United States were used for analysis. Data were stratified by age, race, residence, median income, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values, tumor size, distant metastatic history, and positive lymph node scores. Multivariable logistic and Cox regressions were performed to iden
