Tiredness, mood swing chronic fatigue Sudden or unexplained weight evers !ight sweats "nusual swelling around a bone Limping Suffering with severe bone pain, lower and upper back pain

There's is two types of bone cancer Primary and secondary bone cancer Primary bone cancer has already been formed in the cell bone as to secondary cancer is when there is cancer somewhere else in the body and then spread to the bone

Current research
3 MOST COMMON CANCERS
Osteosarcoma. #steosarcoma starts in the bone cells. (occurs
mainly on children or young adults)

Chondrosarcoma. $hondrosarcoma begins in cartilage cells

that are commonly found on the ends of bones. % older adults)

Ewing sarcoma. &t's not clear where in bone (wing's sarcoma

begins. but is believed that (wing's sarcoma may begin in nerve tissue near the bone.%children & young adults)

Secondary cancer
Example: Suppose you have cancer in your stomach if you brake a bone and is left untreated for a long period of time then cancer cells can easily spread into the bone, and then become bone cancer

PRIMARY CANCER
cancer that begins in bone tissue !alignant tumors

metastatic

Causes
" small number of cancers are due to heredity people with metal implants, which doctors sometimes use to repair fractures,
#one cancer begins is an error in a cell's $%" The error tells the cell to grow and cant stop the growth The cells stay alive instead of dying "s the cells start to grow it gathers mutated cells which cause a &tumor' that can take over nearby structures or spread to other areas of the body

Surgery

Treatments

Chemotherapy :The use of anticancer drugs to kill cancer cells Radiation therapy: The use of high(energy x(rays to kill cancer cells
Removing the bone affected by the cancer removes part or all of the bone affected by the cancer. This is called resection )ou can only have this type of surgery for cancer in bones if the cancer is an a rib or fibula &calf bone' imb sparing surgery This is when you get surgery to an arm or leg to take out the bit of the bone where the cancer is growing Sometimes it is called limb salvage surgery, this is when you replaces the piece of bone that has the cancer with a piece of metal &a prosthesis' or with a bone graft Removal of an arm or leg !amputation" "mputation can be needed if the bone tumour has spread into the tissues that is surrounded by the bone This is most of the time done only when doctors think there is a high risk that cancer will come back
