Core Tip	We investigated bone metastasis patients from 2012 to 2023 at Department of Clinical Oncology, Akita University Hospital to learn about recent trends in treatment methods and outcomes for patients with bone metastases. The prognosis of patients with bone metastases has improved recently. Now, there is a room for surgical interventions to the patients with bone metastases, which have been avoided due to their limited prognosis. These are expected to improve activities of daily living and quality of life and will benefit patients. Accordingly, guidelines and scoring system for prognosis need to be revised.
