Some people with bone cancer have no symptoms other than the sensation of a painless lump. For others, various symptoms may develop. These symptoms can also occur due to other conditions, such as arthritis or Lyme disease, which can delay diagnosis. 

What causes bone cancer?

Experts don't know exactly what causes bone cancer, but they have found a link between bone cancer and other factors. The most important factor is exposure to radiation or drugs during treatment for other types of cancer. Some bone cancers arise because the conditions are inherited (inherited), although this usually does not happen. You can also consult an experienced bone cancer specialist by browsing online.

• Fever.

How is bone cancer diagnosed?

To diagnose bone cancer, your healthcare provider will often use X-rays to see pictures of your bones. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (computed tomography) provide more detailed images of the area around the bone and are usually obtained before any treatment.

To confirm the diagnosis, your health care provider will perform a biopsy, during which a small piece of bone tissue is removed to be examined under a microscope. The biopsy provides specific information about the cancer, including where it is forming. Having this information helps providers know which maintenance courses are best suited for a specific cancer.
