At H.O.P.E Oncology Clinic, we offer comprehensive bone cancer care using evidence-based oncology protocols while supporting patients physically, emotionally, and psychologically throughout their treatment journey.
What Is Bone Cancer?
Bone cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably within a bone, destroying healthy bone tissue. Bone cancer may be primary (originating in the bone) or secondary (cancer that has spread to the bones from another organ such as breast, lung, or prostate).
Early diagnosis and the right oncology care significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life.
Signs & Symptoms of Bone Cancer
Symptoms may develop gradually and are often mistaken for minor injuries. Common warning signs include:
- Persistent bone pain, especially at night
- Swelling or lump over a bone
- Weak or brittle bones leading to fractures
- Reduced movement near joints
- Fatigue and unexplained weight loss
- Fever (in some cases)
Any persistent bone pain or swelling should be evaluated by an oncologist.
Causes & Risk Factors
Bone cancer can occur due to several factors, including:
- Genetic mutations
- Previous radiation therapy
- Certain inherited conditions
- Rapid bone growth (in children/adolescents)
- Cancer spread from other organs
Any persistent or unexplained symptom should be evaluated by an oncologist.
