The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system that produces a milky white substance that makes 30% of semen. Prostate cancer is the disease where cancerous cells start formation in the prostate.
Contrary to other malignant forms, most of prostate cancers don’t grow with a rapid rate, but some do. In some cases, the cancer cells spread to other parts of the body too, bringing more risks from this form of cancer.
Prostate cancer is considered the 2nd most common form of cancer but with a relatively superior rate of survival. This disease has more patients in the developed world.
Primary and metastatic are two types of bone cancers where the former originates in the bone tissue itself while the latter transmits to the bones from different parts of the body. Let’s have a look at primary bone cancer types:-
Osteosarcoma – Originates in the osteoid tissue of the bone
Chondrosarcoma – Starts in the cartilaginous tissue
Ewing's Family of Tumors (EFTs) – besides the bone, it may also start from blood vessels or supporting tissues
There are some symptoms that accompany the bone cancer. These symptoms may not be conclusive in nature nonetheless they are present when the disease strikes. Let’s look at those symptoms:-
The treatment of bone cancer varies in patients as many factors are taken into consideration. The treatment would depend on the stage of the cancer. More so, apart from the location, type and size of the cancer, the health of the patient is also considered. Surgery is the first obvious treatment for bone cancer. More so, the possibility of a limb amputation is not ruled out in some specific cases. Doctors recommend chemotherapy and radiation either in combination or separately.
