Tumor

A bone tumour is an abnormal growth of cells within the bone, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). While benign tumours do not spread to other parts of the body, malignant bone tumours, such as osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing’s sarcoma, can be aggressive and may require prompt treatment. Symptoms often include persistent bone pain, swelling, fractures, and limited movement. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests (X-rays, MRI, CT scans) and biopsy, while treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy, depending on the type and stage of the tumour.
