Bone cancer

Bone cancer's disease overview

Bone cancer is a rare disease in cancer. The disease progresses slowly and symptoms are not clear so patients often come to the hospital in the late stage. The disease is common in adolescents aged 15-25 years old, the height grows faster than children of the same age. Men meet more women.

Bone cancer is a linked cancer from 3 types of cells: bone -forming cells, cartilage cells and bone binding cells of bone tissue. The disease usually manifests itself in the position of the tibia, the femur, the head on the arm bone, the head under the rotating bone.

Bone cancer can be original or metastatic from other places (mainly from breasts, lungs, etc.)

Causes of Bone cancer's disease

  • Secondary bone cancer: The majority of bone cancer is secondary cancer due to metastases from other positions of the body. (Breast, lung, thyroid ...)
  • primary bone cancer: unknown cause. Some cases of bone cancer are related to genetic factors or a history of radioactive exposure first.

    • Symptoms of Bone cancer's disease

    Expression of bone cancer depends on the stage of the disease.

    Early stage bone cancer

    vague symptoms, if not noticed, it will be easy to ignore

  • Foot pain, especially young people about 30-40 years old. Moreover, numbness or vague aches
    • /Li>
  • increases bone pain, feeling significantly weakened. Continuous pain, use painkillers. > Solid, limited peripheral lymph nodes
    • The end of the thigh bone, the head on the arm bone, the head under the rotating bone)
  • Bone cancer is mainly seen in the long bone, some in the flat bone such as pelvis, shoulder blades.

    • People at risk for Bone cancer's disease

    Risk factors of primary bone cancer include:

  • Genetic: There are relatives in the family suffering from Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Rothmund-Thomson, retinal cell tumor ... Bone destruction leads to a new bone organization with abnormal structure.

    Prevention of Bone cancer's disease

    Currently there is no specific method of preventing bone cancer.

    Some measures include:

  • Reasonable eating: Eat lots of fruits, vegetables. Provide enough calcium for the body. Limit foods high in fat
  • exercise regularly
  • avoid frequent exposure to strong sunlight
  • avoid continued Contact with radioactive rays, toxic chemicals
  • If a family has a relative with bone cancer, it is necessary to have a regular health check to detect the disease early.

    Diagnostic measures for Bone cancer's disease

    Diagnosis of bone cancer is based on the following subclinical:

  • Tilt X -ray X -ray: Determine the number, location, boundary of damage and evaluate software invasion
  • Computerized tomography: Evaluate the extent level of damage in bone, bone or bone.
  • MRI -magnetic resonance imaging: evaluating the spread of bone lesions, bone marrow, soft tissue, nervous invasion, blood vessels
  • Bone scan: Determine the limit of damage, progress monitoring and evaluation of treatment results
  • PET/CT scans: Detect and monitor Sarcoma software, recurrent bone sarcoma, metastasis. Distinguish malignant and benign lesions.
  • Biopsy: Open biopsy or large needle biopsy helps to diagnose, classify and determine the malignant level of damage.

    • Other tests: abdominal ultrasound, lung x -ray help determine the metastatic status.

    Bone cancer's disease treatments

    There are methods of Bone cancer treatment : surgery, chemical and radiation.Surgery:

  • Tumor removal surgery is a radical treatment.
  • In case it is impossible to be restored, it must be amputated.
    • . such as preventing recurrence. Bone cancer does not respond to radiotherapy except Sarcoma Ewing relatively sensitive. P>
