Authors' objectives: To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage related aspects regarding BMST treatment.
Authors' recommendations: The evidence found on the use of denosumab in bone metastases from solid tumors is of good methodological quality. Denosumab delays skeletal-related-events onset compared with zoledronic acid and the best support treatment in patients with bone metastases due to breast cancer, prostate and other solid tumors. However, no benefit has been observed in survival, bone pain and quality of life. Some clinical practice guidance and coverage policies found, consider denosumab as an alternative to prevent SREs in the following tumors: breast, prostate, bladder, lung (NSCLC) and kidney. The NICE does not recommend it for prostate cancer since it does not provide enough benefit considering its high cost.
