As one of the most common malignant tumors, the colorectal cancer showed an increasing morbidity and mortality in recent years. Bone metastasis was the terminal manifestation of the colorectal cancer with low metastasis rate. It commonly occurred in multiple bones, leading severe pain, hypercalcemia, pathologic fracture and so on. Appropriate imaging examinations such as X-ray, CT, MRI and ECT and laboratory parameters such as CEA could provide help in the diagnose of the bone metastasis of the colorectal cancer. The mechanism of the bone metastasis of the colorectal cancer was still not clear now, however studies showed that metastasis promoting genes and metastasis suppressing genes might play important roles. The treatment of the bone metastasis included 2 aspects: the systemic treatment including radionuclide therapy, chemotherapy and bone resorption inhibitor therapy and the local treatment including operation and radiotherapy. The bone metastasis of the colorectal cancer was usually ignored in clinic and there were still a lot of problems remaining to be studied in the future.
