The distribution of other metastatic disease sites at the time of surgical intervention for osseous metastasis is shown in the lower bars. After surgery, the sites of subsequent metastases formation are shown in the upper bars. The most common site of metastatic disease prior to surgery was lung. Following surgery, bone was the most common site of new metastatic disease.
