"For females, breast and lung are the most common primary sites ; nearly 80% of cancers that spread to the skeleton are from these locations. In males, prostate and lung cancers make up 80% of carcinomas metastasising to bone. The other 20% of primary disease sites in both sexes are: kidney, thyroid, gastrointestinal tract and other locations."

"The spreading pathways of metastasis from the starting site to the bones are only partially understood, and some authors propose some bone metastasis via the Batson venous plexus, a two-way, valveless venous pathway that allows cancer cells, infection and emboli to travel freely both to cranial and caudal direction without passing through the main "tumour-catching" places: liver, lung, peritoneum and others."
