Diagnosis and Pathophysiology Of Bone Cancer

Illustration of Diagnosis and Pathophysiology Of Bone Cancer

Diagnosis and Pathophysiology Of Bone Cancer. Bone Tumors can be cancerous. Bone cancer may occur as a primary disease stemming from bone or occur more frequently as a result of metastasis (spread of cancer cells) from other tumors. Primary bone cancer can be started in every cell of the bone. Cancer of the bone marrow lead to leukemia or mieloma. Osteoblast primary cancer or Sarcoma called osteosit osteogenik. Osteogenik Sarcoma often occurs in long bones, especially the femur (thigh) or at the knees. Cancer of the cartilage is called chondrosarcoma. Chondrosarcoma is usually occurs in the femur or pelvis. Symptoms of bone cancer.

Common symptoms of primary bone cancer is :

• Pain related to inflammation accompanied by swelling in and around the bone.
• Pathological Fracture

Diagnosis of primary bone cancer and the like, include :

• MRI will identify tumors of bone
• Biopsy of bone and tissue neoplasm will identify who is involved

The complications that occur from the primary bone cancer such as:

• Limb Amputation is the way as medical treatment is done as a result of the final stage of bone cancer, where the cancer cells have spread to nearly all parts of the bones of the body that was attacked.
• Ansietas, fear and family stress often accompanies a diagnosis of cancer, especially in children.

The Pathophysiology Of Bone Cancer

There are an estimated 2,000 new cases of bone cancer in 1994. Male sufferers would amount to $ 1,100 of those cases and fewer women sufferers with estimates of as many as 900 cases. Estimates of the death toll reaches 1,075. The disease shows a bimodal pattern with a peak incidence between the ages of 15-19 years and after 65 years.

Etiology

Very little risk facto like associated with tumors of the bone Spurs. Paget's disease, Fibrous Dysplasia, enkodromatosis, bone infarction or radiation exposure is a State that is known to have a relationship with tumor-bone tumors.

Classification

Primary bone malignancies classify histologically-based type of cells or the underlying network. These types include bone, cartilage, fibrous tissue, vascular and retikuloendotelial. In General, bone cancer is divided into 2 kinds, i.e. secondary bone cancer and primary bone cancer. Secondary bone cancer is cancer of the bone caused by cancer cells that originated in other organs and spread to other bones. Secondary bone cancer commonly occurs as a result of complications from a previous cancer such as lung cancer that spreads to the bone and then develop into cancer of the bone.

Some types of cancer can cause cancer cells spread on bone-cartilage and prone to attack cancer cells from a cancer that previously existed on the body, the most common type of cancer and spread the cancer cells on the bone, such as lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer. While the primary bone cancer is cancer caused by cancer cells derived from the bone itself or the place where the growth of cancer cells in the bones.
