the Most Common Bone Cancer Posted: 05-27-05 01:55am
Bone cancer, primary and metastatic - the
most common complaint of bone cancer
patients is pain in the affected bone.
It can be intermittent at first and
perhaps worse at night. The pain may
occur when the bone is used such as a leg
bone when walking or hand bones when
grasping or squeezing. Swelling in the
painful area may also occur. Prompt
diagnosis at the first signs of pain can
help because the right treatment can delay
or prevent further cancer spread, and help
to alleviate complications and symptoms.
