If so many cancers are preventable, what exactly does prevention look like?

At Duke, researchers across medicine, engineering and public health are working to answer that question.

Like the brain, almost all cancers can spread to the bone but some are more likely than others. Breast, lung, prostate, kidney, melanoma, ovarian, and thyroid cancers are the most common. The spine is the most common site for bone metastases.

Until about 10 years ago, patients with brain and spine metastases weren't eligible to participate in clinical trials. Today, we have trials designed specifically for these patients.
