Medical Centric・2 minutes read
Bone cancer can originate in any bone in the body, with primary and secondary forms having specific characteristics and risk factors. Diagnosis involves imaging tests and biopsies, with treatment options including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy based on individual factors.
Insights
- Primary bone cancer originates within the bone itself or bone-derived cells, with common types like osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing sarcoma affecting different age groups.
- Secondary bone cancer, more prevalent than primary bone cancer, metastasizes to the bones from other parts of the body. Diagnosis involves imaging tests and biopsies, with treatment options such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy tailored to the individual's health and cancer stage.
