What are the types of bone cancer? Can it be treated with immunotherapy for cancer<\/a> programs? July is Bone Cancer Awareness Month<\/a>, making it a good time to share some facts about the disease from the National Cancer Institute.<\/p>\n

Basics of Bone Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the name implies, bone cancer<\/a> is a malignant tumor that forms in bone tissue. The majority of bone tumors are benign, which means they’re non-fatal and don’t spread.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, bone cancer CAN spread to other parts of the body. Regardless of the location of the metastasis, or spread<\/a>, the disease is still referred to as bone cancer based on its original site.<\/p>\n

Types of Bone Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Osteosarcoma, usually found in the knee or upper arm, develops in hard bone tissue.<\/p>\n

– Chondrosarcoma forms in cartilage, which is the tough but resilient tissue that cushions joints.<\/p>\n

– The Ewing Sarcoma Family of Tumors, or ESFTs, are thought to arise from primitive nerve tissue in bone or soft tissues.<\/p>\n

Bone Cancer Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chronic pain or swelling in or near a bone are the most common symptoms of bone cancer, but they could also be indicative of other conditions, so it’s important to be tested.<\/p>\n

Treatments for Bone Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditional treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy are often used with bone cancer patients. The NCI and other organizations also sponsor frequent clinical trials<\/a> to investigate immunotherapy for cancer treatments.<\/p>\n
