Objective  To introduce the current studies on bone biochemical markers in breast cancer with bone metastasis.
Methods  The papers in recent 8 years about the application of bone biochemical markers in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer with bone metastasis were reviewed.
Results  NTX had the best relation with bone metastasis. ICTP was much more worthy than NTX in diagnosis of breast cancer with bone metastasis. Osteogenesis markers were little worthy in diagnosis of breast cancer with bone metastasis.
Conclusion  Bone biochemical markers can not replace the image exams and biopsy in diagnosing the bone metastasis of breast cancer,but may be one of the factors to get the early diagnosis.
