what races and gender are affected the most and with which type of cancer
males
the bone
Bones! All 206 bones of the body can get bone cancer.
the organs that affected by bone cancer is the hearth,arms,legs,vital,skin,cornea,objective lens and the fingers.......ulol....
If you feel you have an abnormal bump in a part of you skeleton where joints are not supposed to be.
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.
yes there is such a thing as bone cancer
Bone cancer is noncommunicable disease.
Leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow.

One of the biggest factors that determines a patient's bone cancer prognosis is the current stage of the disease. If the bone cancer has metastasized to the lymph nodes, or other areas of the body, the cancer will be harder to successfully treat, resulting in a shorter survival rate. Five-year survival-rate statistics help a physician calculate a particular patient's bone cancer prognosis. Male, Caucasian adults have the worst survival rate while female, Caucasian adults have the best survival rate. The five-year bone cancer survival rates range from 67-74 percent when averaging all races.
Bone cancer can be either primary or metastatic, depending on its origin and location within the bone. Primary Bone Cancer: Primary bone cancer originates in the bone tissue itself and is relatively rare compared to other types of cancer. There are several subtypes of primary bone cancer, including osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing sarcoma. These cancers develop from abnormal cells within the bone and may arise in any bone in the body. Primary bone cancer primarily affects children and young adults, although it can occur at any age. Metastatic Bone Cancer: Metastatic bone cancer, also known as secondary bone cancer, occurs when cancer cells from a primary tumor elsewhere in the body spread (metastasize) to the bones. Common primary tumors that metastasize to the bones include breast, lung, prostate, and kidney cancer. Metastatic bone cancer is much more common than primary bone cancer and often affects older adults. It can occur in any bone but typically involves the spine, pelvis, ribs, and long bones of the arms and legs. In both primary and metastatic bone cancer, the cancerous cells can disrupt normal bone function and structure, leading to symptoms such as bone pain, fractures, and weakness. However, the treatment and prognosis for primary and metastatic bone cancer may differ significantly. Treatment for primary bone cancer typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, along with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to kill any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence. In contrast, treatment for metastatic bone cancer focuses on managing symptoms, slowing the progression of the disease, and improving quality of life. This may involve a combination of treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and medications to relieve pain and strengthen bones. Overall, while both primary and metastatic bone cancer can have serious implications for patients, advances in diagnosis and treatment have improved outcomes and quality of life for many individuals affected by these diseases. Early detection, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment plans are essential for optimizing outcomes and improving survival rates for patients with bone cancer.
The symptoms of bone cancer can vary depending on the type, location, and stage of the cancer. However, some common signs and symptoms of bone cancer may include: Bone Pain: Persistent and increasing pain in the affected bone is a frequent symptom. The pain may worsen at night or during physical activity. Swelling: Swelling or a lump near the affected area is another common sign. This swelling can sometimes lead to joint pain and limited mobility. Fractures: Bone cancer can weaken the bone, making it more susceptible to fractures or breaks, even with minor injuries. Fatigue: General fatigue and weakness can occur as the body tries to fight the cancer. Weight Loss: Unexplained weight loss may be a symptom in some cases. Fever: A low-grade fever might accompany bone cancer.
