What are the symptoms of bone cancer in children?

In recent years, the number of bone cancer patients has increased, causing social panic. Orthopedic experts have proved through clinical research that primary osteosarcoma, the most dangerous type of bone cancer, usually attacks young people. In particular, the incidence rate among children is increasing. Here are some symptoms of bone cancer in children:

First of all, parents should pay attention to their children's unexplained pain and swelling, which may be accompanied by limb movement dysfunction in some children. The pain is mostly around the joints. Malignant tumors almost always have local pain, which develops from intermittent, mild pain to persistent pain, worsens at night, and may be tender, and oral painkillers are ineffective; some people have swelling and lumps as the first symptom, which are very fixed in position, do not wander, have clear boundaries, and have local skin temperature rise, but may be less red or have normal skin color; in addition, joint movement may be impaired due to pain or mass restrictions, and in severe cases, local deformity or pathological fractures (cancer cells destroy the normal bone structure) may occur.

Secondly, patients with osteoarthritis with progressive swelling that is not responsive to general analgesics should go to the hospital for examination to exclude bone cancer. Because the disease has an acute onset and is severe, metastasis may occur within six months to a year, with a poor prognosis and even death. X-rays are the most effective and commonly used method, showing osteovessel or osteoblastic destruction. In addition, CT or MRI can show whether there is destruction inside the tumor, the swelling and pain boundary, and the relationship between blood vessels and nerves around the swelling and pain.

The cause of bone cancer is still unknown. It is a malignant disease that occurs frequently in young people. Once the disease occurs, patients and their families become nervous and fearful. Therefore, nursing generally focuses on spiritual care and psychological comfort, encouraging them to fight the disease, become anti-cancer stars, actively cooperate with doctors in treatment, choose anti-cancer foods, and strive for success in fighting cancer.

The above are the symptoms of bone cancer in children. Parents should pay more attention to them. Expert Tips: If you have symptoms of disease, do not delay diagnosis.
