What are the early symptoms of coccyx cancer? These six symptoms need attention

What are the early symptoms of coccygeal cancer? The main symptoms of bone tumors in the early stage are mild and intermittent at the beginning. As the disease progresses, the pain may gradually increase and develop into a persistent state. Most patients experience increased pain at night, which affects their sleep, and the pain may radiate to distant places. Tumors located under the periosteum or superficially appear earlier, and bone expansion and deformation can be felt. If the tumor penetrates outside the bone, a fixed soft tissue mass may be produced, with a smooth or uneven surface.

The specific performance is as follows:

1. A hard lump will appear on the surface of the bone, which may be painful or painless;

2. Pain and swelling in bones and adjacent joints, often worse at night, with the severity of pain having nothing to do with activity. The nature of the pain varies, and can be dull, stabbing, pulling, etc.

3. The body will have fever, weight loss, fatigue, weakness, mental fatigue and other symptoms;

4. Some patients will have persistent back pain, and the cause of the back pain is difficult to explain;

5. There will be numbness in the distal part of the limbs, which is mostly caused by the tumor compressing the nerves;

6. Pathological fractures or deformations are prone to occur. Patients often have one or more fractures without obvious causes, and often seek medical treatment for this reason.

The diagnosis of some tumors is relatively easy, and a preliminary diagnosis can be made based on clinical examination alone, such as osteoma or osteochondroma in superficial parts. Some tumors have characteristics on X-ray films, and a preliminary impression can be made based on typical X-ray findings, such as sclerotic osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. Some tumors require a comprehensive analysis of clinical, X-ray and pathological features to make a correct diagnosis.

Therefore, clinical, X-ray and pathological examinations are considered to be the three important steps in diagnosing bone tumors, and sometimes none of them can be missing. Especially before considering the use of limb amputation surgery, it is generally necessary to undergo the above three aspects of examination and diagnosis before making a decision.
