Abstract:
Colorectal cancer is one of the common malignant tumor in China. However, cases of colorectal cancer with synchronous bone marrow metastasis are extremely rare in clinical practice, and there are few reports on its treatment worldwide. Due to the destructed hematopoietic function caused by tumor cells occupying the bone marrow, the efficacy of chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy is very poor. As a result, colorectal cancer with bone marrow metastasis has a very high mortality and very short survival, resulting in a very poor prognosis. The authors review the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis methods, treatment options and prognosis of this disease.
