Bone cancer, primary bone cancer is cancer that forms in cells of the bone. Some types of primary bone cancer are osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, and chondrosarcoma. Secondary bone cancer is cancer that spreads to the bone from another part of the body (such as the prostate, breast, or lung). Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- One can presume that, the risks associated with the radiation include Skin damage Muscle scarring and loss of joint flexibility Damage to nearby organs Loss of bone growth in growing children Secondary cancers caused by radiation PROGNOSIS The outcome for patients with Ewing`s sarcoma has improved considerably due to improvements in chemotherapy, diagnostic imaging, and reconstructive techniques. Prognosis is the likely outcome or course of a disease; the chance of recovery or recurrence. Joint is in medicine, the place where two or more bones are connected. Examples include the shoulder, elbow, knee, and jaw. Imaging is in medicine, a process that makes pictures of areas inside the body. Imaging uses methods such as x-rays (high-energy radiation), ultrasound (high-energy sound waves), and radio waves. Chemotherapy, treatment with drugs that kill cancer cells. Sarcoma is a cancer of the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Radiation, energy released in the form of particle or electromagnetic waves. Common sources of radiation include radon gas, cosmic rays from outer space, medical x-rays, and energy given off by a radioisotope (unstable form of a chemical element that releases radiation as it breaks down and becomes more stable). Outcome is a specific result or effect that can be measured. Examples of outcomes include decreased pain, reduced tumor size, and improvement of disease.
- It`s been discovered that, serum phosphorus Higher than normal levels of phosphorus can be an indicator of bone cancer. Serum is the clear liquid part of the blood that remains after blood cells and clotting proteins have been removed. Phosphorus is a nonmetallic element that is found in the blood, muscles, nerves, bones, and teeth and is a component of adenosine triphosphate (ATP; the primary energy source for the body`s cells).
- It`s obvious that, PTH test Lower-than-normal level of parathormone can be an indicator of bone cancer. Parathormone is a substance made by the parathyroid gland that helps the body store and use calcium. A higher-than-normal amount of parathormone causes high levels of calcium in the blood and may be a sign of disease. Also called parathyrin, parathyroid hormone, and PTH. PTH is a substance made by the parathyroid gland that helps the body store and use calcium. A higher-than-normal amount of PTH causes high levels of calcium in the blood and may be a sign of disease. Also called parathormone, parathyrin, and parathyroid hormone.
