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
