About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "What you need to know about: Bone Cancer” by Mrs. Boggs.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about bone cancer, a type of cancer that starts in the bone tissue. It can be divided into primary bone cancer and secondary bone cancer. Primary bone cancer starts in the bone itself and is relatively rare, while secondary bone cancer is more common and occurs when cancer cells from another part of the body (such as the breast, lung, or prostate) spread to the bone.

The most common types of primary bone cancer include osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing sarcoma. Symptoms of bone cancer may include pain in the affected bone, swelling or a lump, and difficulty moving the affected limb. Bone cancer can be diagnosed through imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans, as well as through a biopsy.

Treatment options for bone cancer may include surgery to remove the affected bone, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The choice of treatment depends on the type and stage of the cancer, as well as the patients overall health. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, many people with bone cancer can be successfully treated and go on to live healthy lives.

Transcript

Slide 1-

What you need to know about:Bone Cancer By: Mrs. Boggs
Slide 2-

Bone Cancer Bone cancer is cancer that arises first in the bone. True bone cancer is called osteosarcoma Bone is often a secondary site of metastases for other types of cancer such as prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, etc.
Slide 3-

Risk Factors The exact cause for bone cancer is not known, but there are many risk factors for the disease; some can be avoided while others can not. Risk factors include: Smoking Age Race Having other diseases such as retinoblastoma Treatment with radiation
Slide 4-

Biology of Cancer Normal Cell Cycle Cancer Cell Cycle Divide without appropriate signals Can continue growing even though they are in contact with other cells Cells continue through the cell cycle without the “all clear” signal from the checkpoint regulators
Slide 5-

DNA Damage One of the leading causes of bone cancer is radiation Radiation results in: Point mutations Chromosomal damage Break DNA Point mutations occur when bases in DNA are changed There are different types of point mutations including: Nonsense Missense Frameshift
Slide 6-

Treatment Surgery Removes the tumor mass from initial location Radiation Therapy Uses high energy waves targeted to cancer growth Waves cause damage within the cell, disrupt cellular processes, prevent accurate cell division, and cause the cell to die Death of cells causes the tumor to shrink
Slide 7-

Prevention There is way to truly prevent bone cancer General cancer preventions include: Diets low in fat Exercise Eat lots of fruits and vegetables Do not smoke Limit consumption of alcoholic beverages Limit UV radiation
