Lung cancer Benign bone tumors Tumors are abnormal groups of cells that multiply and grow faster than usual or don't die off when they should. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors may cause symptoms and grow bigger, but they usually don't spread to nearby tissues or other parts...
I asked why Dr Lim could not diagnose his own cancer earlier. Apparently, he did not have any symptoms and the cancer markers did not pick up the prostrate cancer. His oncologist friend from Europe who visited him while he was ill, commented that he too, has come across a few cases in...
bloodstream. Any open injury to the bone, such as a fracture or trauma where the bone extends through the skin, can allow the bacteria to become deposited into the bone. Chronic or deep wounds that are left untreated can extend to the bone leading to osteomyelitis. Symptoms of osteomyelitis ...

Osseous metastases are common in cancer patients, and pain is one of the most frequent associated symptoms. The management of cancer-related pain is still problematic worldwide with 40 to 50% of patients still being undertreated. A significant proportion of cancer patients will require discontinuatio...
Osteosarcoma is the second most frequent primary bone cancer, comprising 4% of solid cancers in children and 3% in teenagers and young adults (TYA). A second peak occurs in the seventh and eighth decades. It is slightly more common in males (1.4:1) and black patients. Survival rates are ...
particular, breast cancer cells have been shown to up-regulate PTHrP production in response to TGF-β, released from the bone microenvironment[202]. In turn, PTHrP increases the local production ofRANKLand enhances osteoclastic bone resorption leading to the release of more TGF-β....
This initial change has the same reaction as that observed in TB and metastatic cancer. However, in the latter two, the inner skull table is predilected and ultimately shows the larger defect. In osteolytic metastatic cancer, due to its frequently rapid development, full-thickness destruction ...
Bone is one of the most common metastatic areas in the cancer patient. Bone metastasis is the major cause to deteriorate the quality of life due to severe pain, walking difficulty, paraplegia, and pathologic fracture. To maintain patient’s general condi
