    Solid tumor patients with bone marrow involvement (BMI) typically have a poor prognosis. However, some patients still exhibit a relatively good prognosis following aggressive treatment. This observation study aimed to identify prognostic factors to stratify patients and screen those who may benefit from aggressive treatment. It is found that solid tumor patients with BMI can benefit from aggressive anti-tumor treatments. Additionally, early diagnosis of BMI in solid tumor patients, selection of patients with a potential good prognosis, and administering appropriate anti-tumor treatments are key factors in prolonging the survival time of BMI patients.
