Early symptoms of bone cancer

Bone cancer, as the name suggests, refers to cancer in the bones and joints. Many people fail to detect the symptoms of bone cancer early, thus delaying the treatment of bone cancer. Next, let me tell you what the early symptoms of bone cancer are.

1. Loss of function: Pain or swelling may affect the movement of the affected limbs. For example, a tumor at the upper end of the humerus may affect the movement of the shoulder joint, and a spinal tumor may limit the movement of the spine and cause stiffness or scoliosis. Therefore, this is one of the early symptoms of bone cancer.

2. Deformity: Due to the growth of bone cancer tumors, the bones expand and deform, and the firmness is destroyed. When the weight continues to be loaded, the bones gradually bend and deform, such as hip varus, knee valgus, etc. Multiple osteochondromas, an early symptom of severe bone cancer, can make children in the growth and development period short and deformed.

3. Lumps Early tumors are located in the bones. As the tumor grows, the bone expands and swells more and more. Bone cancer tumors break through the bone and form soft tissue lumps. Lumps often appear at the same time as pain. Sometimes the early symptoms of bone cancer are first manifested by lumps. Tumors of bone cancer patients originate from the bones, so they cannot move. Benign bone cancer tumors grow slowly, are small in size, and the surface and surrounding skin are normal. Malignant bone cancer tumors grow rapidly, the surface skin becomes red and hot, and the subcutaneous veins are filled.

The above is a detailed description of the early symptoms of bone cancer. I hope it can help everyone understand the knowledge of bone cancer and cure it in time. If you have other questions about bone cancer, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
