Although it can start in any bone in the body, including the long bones that make up the arms and legs, bone cancer is a rare form of cancer that starts in a bone.
There are several different types of bone cancer, some of which primarily affect children and others of which primarily affect adults.
Those cancers are named for where they originated, such as breast cancer that has metastasized to the bone, and are not included in the term “bone cancer,” as they begin elsewhere in the body and spread (metastasize) to the bone.
While bone cancer is known to start as an error in a cell’s DNA, the exact cause of most bone cancers is unknown. These mutated cells continue to grow and divide instead of dying at a predetermined time, accumulating to form a mass (tumor) that can invade nearby structures or spread to other parts of the body.
Types of bone cancer-
According to the type of cell from which the cancer first developed, there are various types of bone cancer, the most prevalent of which are:
Osteosarcoma.The bones of the leg or arm are the most common sites for osteosarcoma to develop in children and young adults.
Chondrosarcoma.In middle-aged and older adults, chondrosarcoma typically develops in the pelvis, legs, or arms. It starts in cartilage cells.
Ewing’s sarcoma.Although the exact location of the tumor’s onset in the bone is unknown, Ewing’s sarcoma most frequently affects children and young adults and develops in the pelvis, legs, or arms.
SymptomsBone cancer symptoms and signs include:
· Bone pain
Tenderness and swelling close to the affected area
· Broken bone
· Fatigue
· Unintended weight loss
Risk factors–The exact cause of bone cancer is unknown, but certain factors have been linked to a higher risk, according to medical research, including:
Inherited genetic syndromes.Li-Fraumeni syndrome and hereditary retinoblastoma are two rare genetic syndromes that are passed down families and are associated with an increased risk of developing bone cancer.
Paget’s disease of bone.Paget’s disease of the bone, which most frequently affects older adults, can raise the possibility of later-onset bone cancer.
Radiation therapy for cancer.Future risks of developing bone cancer rise with prolonged exposure to high radiation doses, such as those used in radiation therapy for cancer.
HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES
There are many effective medicines available in homoeopathy for treating bone cancer, but the choice depends on the patient’s individuality, taking their mental and physical health into consideration. Homoeopathy is currently a rapidly expanding system that is practiced all over the world. Its strength lies in its evident effectiveness as it takes a holistic approach towards the sick individual through promotion of inner balance at mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical levels.
The bones are broken, there is prickling pain and periosteal soreness, and Symphytum is one of the most effective treatments for bone cancer. Symphytum is also useful for reuniting broken bones.
CALCAREA PHOS 3XCalcarea phos is also thought to be useful for treating bone cancer in patients who have weak, fragile, and easily broken bones, as well as for assisting in the reunification of fractured bones.
HECLA LAVA 3X– Hecla lava is useful for treating bone cancer, particularly of the jaw bones, pain in the face and teeth, and infiltration and induration of cervical glands.
RUTA GRAVEOLENS 200Ruta graveolens is recommended when there is a strong pain sensation, brittle, sore, and aching bone tissue.
CARCINOSIN 30-Use this remedy to begin your treatment.
