Abstract

Bone metastasis corresponds to the most frequent site of cancerous dissemination from a primary tumor in patients with breast cancer y prostate cancer. The prevalence of breast cancer corresponds to 21% compared to those who have prostate cancer with 4.6% registered. On the other hand, we have the rates of lethality for bone metastasis in prostate cancer with a result of 8.11%, a rate that surpasses the mortality to those with breast cancer with 5.31% of the cases. The importance of this study is to understand and mention the cases of dissemination of this secondary tumor which constitutes one of the factors of poor quality life in these patients. These results indicate the rates of bone metastasis in Ecuador. The following project of investigation was done through an approach of an non experimental, descriptive and prevalence study. In Addition to this, we counted on a universe which conforms patients with prostate and breast cancer that developed a secondary or metastatic tumor in the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital during the 2018 period. Based on the universe, was selected a sample in patients with bone metastasis.
