No one is sure about this answer but what I'm about to write is some thing maybe sad maybe OK. TODAY 45 people will be diagnosed from any type of cancer around the world. TODAY 15 people will die from any type of cancer around the world.
In a way, yes, you can indeed get rib cancer. There is a cancer called bone cancer and a rib is a bone, so, if you have bone cancer in your ribs, then you have rib cancer.
People can die from bone cancer but it all depends on the type of bone cancer, where is it located, age, and treatment. Approximately 70 percent of people with bone cancer will survive at least 5 years but this will vary.
yes there is such a thing as bone cancer
Yes, bone cells can develop cancer. The most common type of cancer that originates in the bones is called "primary bone cancer." There are several subtypes of primary bone cancer, with osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma being among the most well-known. These cancers develop from bone cells and are referred to as sarcomas. Additionally, cancer can spread (metastasize) to the bones from other parts of the body, such as the breast, prostate, lung, or other organs. When cancer cells from another primary cancer site spread to the bones, it is referred to as "secondary" or "metastatic" bone cancer. Both primary and secondary bone cancers can affect bone cells and the surrounding tissue, potentially leading to various symptoms and complications. Treatment approaches for bone cancer typically involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these therapies, depending on the type and stage of the cancer. Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in bone cancer cases.
Bone cancer is noncommunicable disease.
