	Paget's disease of the bone
		Paget's disease of the bone is a chronic bone disorder in which bones become enlarged and deformed.
		Bone is a living material made by the body through the continual processes of formation and breakdown (resorption).
		Complications of Paget's disease of the bone - Complications of Paget's disease of the bone include osteoarthritis, fractures, nerve compression, heart failure, bone cancer (osteogenic sarcoma).

		Bone metastasis, which occurs most often when breast, prostate, lung, kidney and thyroid cancers spread to bones, is one of the most frequent causes of pain in individuals with cancer.
		Metastasis to bone is the primary cause of death in prostate cancer.
		A novel agent targeting the vascular system completely prevented the development of bone tumors in 50% of the mice tested in a preclinical study, providing early evidence that the agent could treat, or thwart, the growth of tumors in the bone, a common site of metastasis for a number of cancers.

		By the time this occurs, the disease is in its advanced stages and the damage is severe.
		Based on early studies, many physicians used to believe that HRT might be beneficial for reducing the risk of heart disease and bone fractures caused by osteoporosis in addition to treating menopausal symptoms.
		While calcitonin slows bone loss and reduces the risk of fractures, it appears to be less effective than ERT or bisphosphonates.

	Myeloma Bone Disease
		Although it affects the bone, myeloma is considered a hematologic cancer (or blood cancer), because it develops in the blood's B cells.
		The bone marrow microenvironment is the area within the bone (the marrow) where stem cells develop into blood cells and the cells of the immune system.
		Within the bone marrow microenvironment, tumor cells adhere to the bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), which are the structural cells of the bone marrow.

		Skeletal fluorosis, especially in its early stages, is a difficult disease to diagnose, and can be readily confused with various forms of arthritis including osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
		The risk of developing fluorosis, and the course the disease will take, is influenced by the presence of certain predisposing factors, including impaired kidney function; dietary deficiencies; gastric acidity; and repetitive stress.
		While only a limited number of studies have documented the disease in the U.S., it is almost certain that other cases of the disease have occurred but escaped detection.
