Be careful , bone cancer can attack children !

DOES your child ever feel pain in one part of the bone and joint approach followed by the appearance of lumps are getting bigger ? If so , be careful because who knows your child bone cancer .

There are three kinds of bone cancer , eg, soft , malignant , and who had lesions in bone ( perforation of network structure due to injury or disease ) .

Bone cancer was malignant and benign anyone from cartilage , muscle , connective tissue . However , the cause is unknown .

Primary and Secondary

According to Dr. Andito Wibisono , SpBO of Siloam Hospital , West Jakarta , bone cancer is divided into two kinds , namely primary and secondary cancers .

Primary bone cancer is cancer originating from bone , among other things , what often happens is meiloma multiple , osteosarcoma , fibrosarcoma , malignant fibrous Histiositoma , kondrosarkoma , Ewing tumors , and malignant bone lomfoma .

Multiple myeloma is a bone cancer that is most often found . Cancer is derived from bone marrow cells that produce blood cells . Bone cancer is usually experienced by adults . This cancer can affect one or more bones , so that the pain can appear in more than one place .

Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone associated with periods of growth velocity in adolescence . This type of bone cancer common in children around the age of 15 years . The incidence among men and women alike.

Orteosarkoma tend to grow at the bottom of the thigh bone , the bone of the upper arm upper end portion , and the upper end of the tibia part . The end of the bone is an area where there is a change area where there is the biggest change .

Fifrosarkoma and malignant fibrous histiostoma is a type of cancer that originates in the soft tissue or connective tissue other than bone , such as ligaments , tendons , fat , and muscle . These cancers rarely originated from the bone and is found in the elderly or middle . The most commonly affected bones are the bones of the legs , arms , and jaw .

Can Attack Children

Kandrosarkona is a tumor composed of cartilage cells or malignant cartilage . Most kandrosarkoma grow slowly or are low-grade tumors that can be cured with surgery . But some of them are high -grade tumors that tend to spread .

While cancer Ewing appeared at puberty when the cancer is growing very fast . This cancer is rarely found in children aged 10 years . This cancer can grow any part . But most often grows on the long bones of the pelvic limb or chest . This cancer can also grow in the flat bones of the skull or other bones .

Bone malignant lymphoma usually affects those aged 40-50 years . Cancer is derived from any bones or originated elsewhere in the body , then spread to the bone . This cancer usually causes pain and swelling and broken bones .

While the secondary bone cancer is cancer of the other organs that spread to the bone . So , not derived from bone cancer , such as lung cancer that spread to the bone , in which the cancer cells resemble cells of the lung and is not a bone cell .

" Cancer is actually secondary spread of cancer and more on the human body , " he said .

The symptoms

The most common symptom is pain and cancer go hand in hand with pertubuhan well . It can even happen swelling and limited movement . If the cancer is found in the limbs , limping sufferers . If the arm , there will be pain when lifting something .

Early signs of the disease can include fractures due to tumors can cause bones to become weak .

" Fractures in the growth of cancer called a pathological fracture and often occurs after a routine movement , " he continued . Not infrequently the patient also has a fever .

treatment

Just like other diseases that have a higher stage , so anything with bone cancer . In bone cancer , there is growing slowly . These are called low grade . While that development spreads rapidly and can invade other organs is called high grade .

Usually the doctor will conduct further tests to determine the location and spread of tumors by means of x-ray skeleton bones , chest x-ray , CT scan of the chest , bone scan and biopsy cancer . Once known for certain , the next action is chemotherapy .

" If two things are not possible , or indeed that the cancer has spread , the other way is to do surgery to remove the cancer therapy , " he said .

If possible , do not let amputation . Perform a life-saving amputation means at the expense of other organs . Right now , the information from Andito , the patient will not have to worry amputated because technology is more advanced treatment .

" The patients with cancer , before replacing the bone , first turned off by the cancer treatment . Fact if possible , patched , yes , cemented or also using a new technique , limbsalvage , where malignant bone cancer footprints connected with other patients who have just died , " he said
