What is Bone Tumor?
Bone tumors occur when cells within a bone divide rapidly, resulting in a lump or mass (tumor). They can be cancerous or non-cancerous. Bone tumors can originate from the bone or be caused by another cancer that has spread to the bone.The exact cause for "primary" bone tumors (arising from the bone's own cells) is unknown. Possible risk factors include genetics, previous radiation therapy, bone traumas, anticancer medications, etc.
Typical Symptoms of Bone Tumor
- Weakness or paralysis on one side of your body
- Arm pain
- Unable to lie on the back due to pain
- History of cancer
- Lower back pain
- Redness in the affected area
- Back pain or discomfort
- Swelling in the affected area
Diagnostic Questions for Bone Tumor
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have weakness or paralysis on one side of your body?
- Are you experiencing arm pain?
- Does lying on your back make the pain worse?
- Have you ever had cancer?
- Do you have lower back pain?
Treatment of Bone Tumor
Treatment depends on size, location, and whether the tumor arises from the bone itself or whether it is a cancer that has spread from another organ (metastatic). Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatment, cryosurgery, and targeted therapy are all methods for treating bone cancer.
