XGEVA® is a prescription medicine used to prevent fracture, spinal cord compression, or the need for radiation or surgery to bone in patients with multiple myeloma and in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors.
Bone metastases (pronounced muh•TASS•tuh•seez), or “bone mets,” are when cancer cells have spread from the original (primary) tumor to the bone. Bone is a common place for cancer to spread to.1
Cancer starts as cells in one part of the body. As the cancer begins to grow, it can spread to other parts of the body.1
Many cancer cells try to spread but die before they can. But, others are able to move to a different part of the body. Once they are there, they can grow.1
Bone is one of the most common locations where cancer spreads. But it can spread to other tissues in the body.1
