Secondary bone cancer is more common than primary bone cancer because the bone is one of the most common site cancers spread to. Now cancer can weaken the bones causing them to break more easily (pathologic fracture). And cancer can spread to bones in the spine, legs, arms, spine, ribs, and pelvis. Cancer usually spreads from the lungs, breast, prostate, thyroid, or kidney. Secondary bone cancer refers to cancer that started in another part of the body and has spread (metastasized) to the bone via the lymphatic system or bloodstream. Now, let’s understand the term bone cancer both (primary and secondary), and then we’ll study the connection between bone cancer and pathological fracture.īone cancer can begin as primary or secondary cancer. Now you understand the meaning of metastasis. Cancers of the rectal and colon tend can spread to the liver and the lungs.Prostate cancer can be spread to bones.Lung cancer can spread to the bones, brain as well as the liver, and adrenal glands.Breast cancer can spread to bones, lungs, liver, chest wall & brain.Secondary cancer is also known as metastases.
This means that cancerous cells can travel far away from the original tumor and form new tumors (secondary tumors) in a different area of the body after they settle and grow in that different area. This lymphatic system and bloodstream transport fluids throughout the body. Metastases most commonly develop when cancerous cells separate from the original or main tumor (the primary tumor) and move into the lymphatic system or bloodstream. The plural form of metastasis is metastases. The term “metastasis” means cancer that spreads to different parts of the body from where it started. The diseases that are discussed below are marked in bold in the above-mentioned tables. Let’s discuss some of the examples of Localized and generalized diseases in detail. Now let’s discuss about generalized diseases of bone in detail along with their examplesĤ - Scurvey Disseminated Tumors which include It includeĤ - Metastatic cancer (They spread specially from lung, breast, prostate, thyroid or kidney)ĥ - Metastatic Sarcoma (From primary in another bone)
They spread to distant areas through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. It includeģ - Haemangioma (spine) Malignant (Cancerous) - Malignant tumors are composed of cells that multiply in uncontrolled ways and can spread locally or to distant areas. Example include - Pyogenic Osteomyelitis (usually in chronic form)īenign Tumor (Non-cancerous) - It cannot invade the surrounding tissue or cannot spread to other areas of the body, as cancer does. It means where the disease has happened we'll get to see swelling and inflammation. Let’s discuss about the Localized disease in detail along with their examples Infection (inflammatory diseases) Neoplastic means abnormal cell growth which includeĪcquired (Which the patient acquire during his lifespan) These are as follows LocalizedĬongenital disorders (Genetically) which means present by birth These include localized diseases and generalized diseases. A pathological fracture can be caused by two types of diseases.
