[Abstract] Bone metastasis is one of the common complications of lung cancer, which seriously affects the quality of life and survival of patients. At present, the clinical diagnosis of bone metastasis of lung cancer mainly depends on imaging methods, but due to its lack of sensitivity and potential radiation risk, about half of patients have already had bone-related events when they are diagnosed clearly. The treatment of bone metastasis of lung cancer mainly depends on surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunosuppressants, etc. Although the treatment of bone metastasis of lung cancer has made some progress in recent years, there are still some problems such as high risk of other distant metastasis. This article mainly reviews the pathogenesis, diagnostic biomarkers and treatment progress of bone metastasis of lung cancer, in order to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of bone metastasis of lung cancer.
