| Bone Cancer Yellow Ribbon Awareness Angel |
A bone tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within a bone.
A bone tumor may be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). Cancer can begin in any type of bone tissue. The cause of bone tumors is unknown. In most cases, no specific cause is found. Most patients with cancerous bone tumors that have not spread can achieve a cure.
Primary bone cancer has a peak incidence between the ages of 10 - 24, but bone cancer can occur at any age. The main symptoms are bone pain, which can come and go at first, but may be more persistent at night, and sometimes swelling of the affected area. These symptoms can be mistaken for a sports injury or growing pains.
If you or a family member are experiencing any of these symptoms contact your doctor. When symptoms persist it is a good idea to ask your doctor for an x‑ray. Symptoms like these often have other causes however early diagnosisof a bone cancer patient is a significant factor influencing results.
