Type of Bone Marrow Cancer

Bone cancer causes types stages symptoms and treatment bone cancer is divided into primary

and secondary bone cancer primary bone cancer forms in the cells of the bone and secondary

bone cancer starts elsewhere eventually spreading to bones in this article we will discuss the

 survival rates types causes symptoms and treatments for bone cancer fast facts on bone

cancer benign bone tumors are more common than malignant bone tumors there are a number

of different bone cancer types early symptoms might include pain in the affected area a range

of diagnostic tests can help diagnose bone cancer radiotherapy chemotherapy and surgery can

 all be used to treat bone cancer treatment the type of treatment for bone cancer depends on

several factors including the type of bone cancer where it is located how aggressive it is

whether it is localized to or has spread there are three approaches to treating bone cancer

 these are surgery radiation therapy and chemotherapy surgery surgery aims to remove the

tumor and some of the bone tissue that surrounds it if some of the cancer is left behind it may

 continue to grow and eventually spread limb sparing surgery also known as limb Salvage

 surgery means that surgical intervention occurs without having to amputate the limb the

surgeon may take some bone from another part of the body to replace lost bone or an

artificial bone may be fitted in some cases however amputation of a limb may be necessary

 radiation therapy radiotherapy is commonly used in the treatment of many cancer types it

involves the use of high-energy x-rays or particles to destroy cancer cells radiotherapy works

 by damaging the DNA inside the tumor cells preventing them from reproducing radiotherapy

can be used to here patient by completely destroying the tumor relieve pain and more

advanced cancers shrink the tumor making it easier to then surgically remove it eliminate the

cancer cells that remained behind after surgery combination therapy is radiotherapy combined

with another type of therapy this may be more effective in some cases Khem irradiation or

radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy may also be used chemotherapy chemotherapy

involves the use of chemicals to treat disease more specifically it refers to the destruction of

cancer cells chemotherapy has five possible goals total remission chemotherapy aims to cure

 patient in some cases chemotherapy alone can get rid of the cancer completely combination

 therapy chemotherapy can help other therapies such as radio therapy or surgery produce

better results delay or prevent recurrence chemotherapy when used to prevent the return of

cancer is most often used after a tumor has been removed surgically slow down cancer

progression chemotherapy can slow down the advancement of the cancer chemotherapy may

 also help to relieve symptoms this is more frequently used for patients with advanced cancer

stages bone cancer is staged dependent on how advanced it is stage 1 the cancer has not spread

 from the bone the cancer is not aggressive stage 2 this is the same as stage 1 but more

aggressive stage 3 tumours exist in at least two places in the same bone Stage four the cancer

has spread to other parts of the body the stage of the cancer will dictate how it is treated in

the likelihood of survival causes while doctors are unsure or precise causes patients with long-term inflammatory diseases such as pay gets disease are at a significantly higher risk of

developing bone cancer later in life however nobody can accept why one person gets bone

cancer while another one does not it is not contagious the following groups of people may be

 at a high risk of developing bone cancer children or young adults aged up to 20 years people

 who have received radiation therapy individuals with a history of pay gets disease people with

 a close relative who has bone cancer individuals with hereditary retinoblastoma a type of eye

 cancer that most commonly affects very young children people with li-fraumeni syndrome a

rare genetic condition symptoms the patient initially experiences pain in the affected area

 over time the pain gets worse and continuous in some cases the pain is subtle and the patient

 may not see a doctor for several months the progression of pain with Ewing sarcoma tends to

 be faster than in most other bone cancers typically bone cancer pain is deep nagging and has

a permanent character other symptoms include swelling in the affected area weakened bones

that resulting in a significantly higher risk of fracture unintentional weight loss a lump in the

affected area although much less common the patient might also experience fever chills and

 night sweats types there are several types of bone cancer including primary bone cancers

primary bone cancers are either benign tumors or cancers benign tumors can be due to

developmental changes trauma infections inflammation or abnormal tissue growth they are

more common in people under the age of 30 examples of benign bone tumors include osteoma

 osteoid osteoma osteochondroma osteoblasts Toma inch and Roma giant cell tumor of the

bone and there is more bone cyst fibrous dysplasia of the bone examples of malignant primary

 bone tumors include osteosarcoma Chandra sir coma Ewing's sarcoma malignant fibrous

 history Osito ma fibrosarcoma other sarcomas multiple myeloma is a blood cancer that may

include one or more bone tumors certain bone cancers are found in specific bones for instance

 teratomas and germ cell tumors are frequently located in the tail bone osteosarcoma

 osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer it usually develops in children and

young adults after leukemia and brain tumors osteosarcoma is the third most common cancer

among teens in the United States Ewing sarcoma Ewing sarcoma usually develops in the pelvis
shin bone or thigh bone it most commonly effects teenagers and young adults Chandra sir

coma Chandra sir coma usually develops in adults it starts in the cartilage cells and the moves

 onto the bone diagnosis a doctor may order a blood test to rule out other possible causes the

patient will then be referred to a bone specialist the following diagnostic tests may be ordered

bone scan CT scan MRI scan positron emission tomography PE T x-rays bone biopsy outlook

 the outlook for a patient with malignant bone cancer depends mainly on whether it has

spread to other parts of the body if the cancer is localized has not spread the prognosis is

usually good according to the University of Rochester Medical Center United Kingdom for old

bone cancers combined the 5-year survival rate is around 70% the survival rate varies

depending on the staging of the disease the National Cancer Institute us estimates that by the

 end of 2016 there will have been 3,300 new cases and 1490 deaths from cancer of the bones and joints. Next Types of Bone Cancer Myeloma
