Abstract

Cancer-related bone metastases are incurable and cause high mortality in patients. Immunotherapies have been evaluated in large-scale clinical trials with advanced cancer patients, but effects on bone metastases have not been specified. This mini review introduces case reports where patients with bone metastases have been treated with immunotherapies and local effects on tumor growth have been assessed. Potential skeletal-related adverse effects of immunotherapies are also discussed.
