Bone Cancer

What is Bone Cancer

Bone cancer is a rare but serious condition where abnormal cells grow uncontrollably inside the bones. It can start in the bone itself (primary bone cancer) or spread from another part of the body (secondary bone cancer). Early detection and treatment are crucial for better recovery and quality of life.

Common Symptoms of Bone Cancer

  • Persistent bone pain, especially at night or during rest

  • Swelling or a lump over a bone

  • Fractures from minor injuries (weakened bone)

  • Unexplained weight loss and fatigue

  • Reduced joint movement or stiffness

  • Numbness or tingling (if the tumor presses on nerves)

Bone Cancer Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the cancer type, stage, and location:

  1. Surgery — Removal of cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy bone as possible.

  2. Chemotherapy — Drugs to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing.

  3. Radiation Therapy — High-energy rays target and shrink tumors.

  4. Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy — Advanced options for specific cancer types.

A personalized care plan is designed by your orthopedic oncologist for the best outcome.

Precautions & Early Detection

  • Do not ignore persistent, unexplained bone pain.

  • Regular check-ups if you have a family history of bone cancer.

  • Seek immediate medical advice for swelling or lumps on bones.

  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle to support bone health.

  • Follow up on any suspicious fractures or bone injuries, especially if they occur easily.
