What are the early signs of malignant bone cancer

As the pace of life continues to accelerate and work pressure continues to increase, the incidence of various malignant diseases is also increasing, including bone cancer. Due to the lack of knowledge about bone cancer, it is difficult to pay attention even when the body shows corresponding symptoms. Therefore, it is critical to understand the early signs of bone cancer so that it can be detected and treated early.

1. If you feel pain or swelling in your limbs that is not caused by trauma, inflammation, or cold, you should never take it lightly and immediately get further examinations. This is a common early sign of bone cancer.

2. When a benign tumor on the bone suddenly increases in size and is accompanied by pain, it indicates that the tumor may have a tendency to become malignant.

3. Pain is an important early signal of bone cancer. The disease starts as intermittent pain and then becomes continuous. It is more obvious at night. In the late stage, the pain worsens and affects work and rest.

4. Adolescent patients feel limb pain and swelling (or lump) in the same location, which is fixed and persistent, particularly severe at night, and gradually worsens day by day. This requires high vigilance, as it may be an early sign of bone cancer.

5. When middle-aged and elderly people experience unexplained limb pain, back pain, and a tendency to progressively worsen, they should be alert to the possibility of metastatic bone tumors, which is a common early sign of bone cancer.
