Default Bone Cancer: An Overview







some facts about bone cancer:

* Bones are the third most common site for cancer to metastasize.
* Every year in the United States nearly 100,000 cases of cancer metastasizing into bones are reported. Nearly 75% of them are the result of tumors in the breast, prostate, lung or kidney.
* 70% of those with bone cancer are affected by pain.
* Bone fractures are a common result of bone metastases.
* Backaches, the result of spinal cord compression, are common.


Bone cancer occurs when cancer cells enter the blood stream, reach the bone marrow, and begin to multiple and spread. As the cancer eats away at the bone it creates holes that leave the bone thin and weak, sending pain signals to the brain. Untreated, a metastasized bone can fracture, seriously affecting your quality of life.
