What symptoms should bone cancer patients pay attention to

What symptoms should patients with bone cancer pay attention to? When it comes to bone cancer, the first thing that comes to mind is death. In fact, bone cancer is not that scary. As long as we do a good job of prevention and timely treatment, we can extend our life cycle. Therefore, we don’t have to panic. To achieve early treatment, we must understand the symptoms of bone cancer. The following is a detailed introduction to this issue:

1. Lump: In the early stages of bone cancer, a hard lump will appear on the surface of the bone, which may or may not be painful.

2. Bone and joint pain or swelling: Bone cancer patients will experience bone and joint pain or swelling in the early stages. The pain often intensifies at night and is not necessarily related to activity. The pain may be a constant dull pain or only felt when pressure is applied.

3. Fractures: Bone cancer patients may suffer from pathological fractures or deformations in the early stages.

4. Fever and weight loss: Bone cancer patients may experience fever, weight loss, fatigue, and decreased mobility in the early stages, and this condition sometimes occurs in late-stage bone cancer.

5. Back pain: Patients with bone cancer who have persistent and unexplained back pain in the early stages may simply be suffering from a back disease or back pain.

6. One or more fractures: Bone cancer patients may have one or more fractures in the early stages without obvious causes. After the fractures are treated, they should be checked for osteosarcoma or osteoporosis.

7. Numbness: Bone cancer patients may experience numbness in the distal extremities in the early stages due to compression of nerves and blood vessels.
