What are bone tumors?
The bone tumors can be localized in a simple way, but their treatment will be adapted to the type of tumor that presents. Today there are two large groups of bone tumors : those that arise in the bone (benign or malignant, depending on the tendency that have to stabilize or evolve) and tumors that originate in other organs and ranging to the bone (so called metastases bone).
How to treat bone tumors?
Benign bone tumors are cured in shape with surgical excision. In some cases, we should not intervene and instead making periodic checks to see if the tumor remains stable or increases. Malignant bone tumors and metastases should be treated by a medical team specialized: the oncologist, the radiation oncologist, a specialist of the pain and trauma surgeon.
Who are the most affected by bone cancer?
In general, primitive bone tumors affect more children, adolescents and young adults. Instead metastases are much more present in adults between 40 and 50 years.
What are the causes of bone cancer?
The cause of these tumors is the massive and disorderly growth of cells. To know the causes of this sudden growth of cells can help you understand the cause of the tumor. Currently there have been many advances in the detection of cancer and you can determine if there are any toxic factors, genetic alteration, virus, or other.
Detect cancer
The first cause of a bone tumor detection is pain that occurs in the affected area. The tumor can also be felt to the touch, especially in areas such as the limbs. A large number of tumors was found thanks to the daily radiological analysis.
