Bone cancer diagnosis

In broad outline of bone cancer is broken down into two types:
1. Metastatic bone cancer, or more commonly referred to as secondary bone cancer. This type of bone cancer is caused by the cancer that already exists in tub other organs before it spread to the bone. So instead of bone cancer. An example is lung cancer that spread to the bone where the cancer cells resemble cells of the lung but was attacked in the bone.

2. Primary bone cancer. This one is a cancer that originated from the bone itself. Included in the category of bone cancer are: Multiple myeloma, Osteosarcoma , Fobrosarkoma, and Histiositoma Fobrosa maligna, Kondrosarcoma, Ewing's tumor, and malignant lymphoma bone.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of bone found most serifs. These cancer cells derived from bone marrows that produce blood cells. Usually This cancer can be related to one or more bones so that pain can appear in more than one takes place.
Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumors associated with periods of growth velocity in adolescence. Average disease is detected in children aged 15 years. And, the incidence in boys and girls are equal but that many were attacked by teenage boys.

Osteosacoma tend to grow in the femur
(lower end), the upper arm bone (top) and the tibia (the top). Tip of the bone is an area where there is a change and the largest growth rate. Nevertheless, osteosarcoma can also grow in other bones.
The most common symptom is pain experienced. In line with the growth of the tumor, can also occur swelling and limited movement. Tumor in the leg will cause the patient to walk lame. While tumor on the arm will cause pain when the arm used to lift something.
Swelling in the tumor may feel warm and looking somewhat flushed. Early signs of this disease can be further broken bone into tumors. Fractures in the growth of this tumor are called a pathologic fracture, and often occurs after bone routine.
Detection of this disease is by inspection:
1. Exposed to x-ray bone
2. CT Scan in the affected bone
Blood tests (serum chemistry)
3. Chest CT scan to see any spread to the lungs
4. Open biopsy
5. Scanning the entire bone to see the spread of his cancer.

Prior to surgery, chemotherapy done so that the tumor shrank. Chemotherapy is quite effective to kill tumor cells that had begun to spread. If it has not spread to the lungs, then the life expectancy reaches 60%. Approximately 75% of patients can survive about five years after bone cancer was diagnosed.

Fibrosarkoma and malignant Fibroses Histiositoma
Cancer is derived from soft tissue (connective tissue other than bone, such as ligaments, tendons, fat and muscle) and rarely originated from the bone. This cancer usually found in elderly people or the middle.
The most commonly affected bones are the bones of the legs, arms and jaw. Fibrosarkoma and malignant fibrous Histositoma osteosarcoma similar in form, location and symptoms. Treatment no less.

Kondrosarcoma
Kondrosarcoma is tumors composed of cells of cartilage (cartilage) are malignant. Most Kondrosarcoma grow slowly or a low grade tumor can be cured with surgery. However, some of which are high-grade tumors that tend to spread.
Kondrosarcoma should be removed surgically because they do not fully respond to chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Amputation of leg or arm is rarely done. If the tumor removed entirely, 75% of patients will be able to survive.
Ewing tumor
Ewing tumor appeared at the time of puberty in which the bones grow very fast. These tumors are rarely found in children aged under 10 years old. Tumors can grow in any body part. However, the most frequent in long bones of limbs, pelvis, or chest. Jga tumors can grow in the skull or other flat bones.
The most common symptom is pain and complained of occasional swelling in the affected bone.
sometimes patients experienced fever. The tumor is easily spread to the lungs and other bones. At the time of diagnosis, the spread usually occurs in nearly 30% patients.

If suspected of a tumor, then conducted an audit to determine the location and spread of tumors in a way:
1. bone X-ray body frame
2. chest X-rays
3. CT scan of the chest
4. Bone scanning
5. tumor biopsy
Treatment is a combination of: chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, vinkristin, daktinomisin, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, etoposide), radiation therapy and therapy of tumor surgery to remove the tumor.

Bone Malignant Lymphoma
Bone malignant lymphoma usually attacks people aged 40-50 years. Bone cancer comes from anywhere or come from elsewhere in the body, then spread to the bone. These tumors usually cause pain and swelling and bone damage. Treatment consists of a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy
