  Primary bone cancer cancer that starts in the bone is rare in people over the age of 40 and is found more commonly in children and young adults. Its more common for the cancer to spread to the bone from other parts of the body. This is called bone metastasis. A cancerous tumour of the bone can also destroy nearby tissue. […] Bone cancer usually develops between 5 to 20 years after exposure. An example of radiation exposure that could increase your risk for bone cancer is high-dose radiation therapy given to people who had cancer at a young age. Another risk is exposure to radium, such as intravenous radium used to treat people with certain bone diseases. Exposure to plutonium can also be a risk factor for bone cancer, in the case of people who work or live near plutonium production plants. […] Net survival represents the percentage of people estimated to survive their cancer. This means that 62% of people diagnosed with bone cancer will survive for at least 5 years.

• #30 Symptoms of Osteosarcoma, A Bone Cancer: When to Worry About Limb Pain

  https://osinst.org/symptoms/

  Osteosarcoma expert Lee Helman, MD, describes the symptoms of osteosarcoma — and what symptoms families should watch for. […] However, in those few hundred cases, delayed diagnoses are common. “Delay from onset of pain to diagnosis of osteosarcoma is, on average, several months, but can be much longer,” Dr. Helman explains. Since osteosarcoma originates in the bone, the tumor is often discovered only after a child or teen has experienced ongoing, unresolved pain around a joint or bone. […] “A common story in osteosarcoma is of a child having been seen for pain by a healthcare provider who did not consider it to be serious. The pain continued and ultimately worsened until the parents brought the child back once, twice, or more before a diagnosis is made,” says Dr. Helman. […] By far, pain or swelling (or both) are the most common symptoms of osteosarcoma, says Dr. Helman. “This is really how the vast majority of osteosarcoma patients present — usually pain before swelling.” While osteosarcoma can occur in any bone or joint, including the skull, tailbone, and jaw, the two most common areas of osteosarcoma are in the knee and shoulder, says Dr. Helman, with pain specifically presenting in those areas.

  Bone cancer can affect any bone, but most cases develop in the long bones of the legs or upper arms. The main symptoms include: persistent bone pain that gets worse over time and continues into the night […] swelling and redness (inflammation) over a bone, which can make movement difficult if the affected bone is near a joint […] a noticeable lump over a bone […] a weak bone that breaks (fractures) more easily than normal. Bone pain is the most common symptom of bone cancer. Some people experience other symptoms as well. Pain caused by bone cancer usually begins with a feeling of tenderness in the affected bone. This gradually progresses to a persistent ache or ache that comes and goes, which continues at night and when resting. Any bone can be affected, although bone cancer most often develops in the long bones of the legs or upper arms. The pain can sometimes be wrongly mistaken for arthritis in adults and growing pains in children and teenagers. Some people also experience swelling and redness (inflammation) or notice a lump on or around the affected bone. If the bone is near a joint, the swelling may make it difficult to use the joint. In some cases, the cancer can weaken a bone, causing it to break (fracture) easily after a minor injury or fall. Less common symptoms can include: a high temperature (fever) of 38C (100.4F) or above […] unexplained weight loss […] sweating, particularly at night.

  Bone cancer can happen to anyone, the risk is higher in children, teenagers and young adults. […] There are three main symptoms of bone cancer: […] Bone cancer sufferers will experience pain in the affected bone area. Initially, pain may occur sporadically, but will increase in frequency as the cancer progresses. The pain is usually more pronounced when moving and tends to get worse at night. […] Swelling and inflammation will appear around the bone area affected by cancer. If swelling occurs near a joint, sufferers may have difficulty moving, lifting weights, or walking. […] Bone cancer can cause bones to become brittle. In more severe conditions, even minor injuries can cause bone fractures. […] Additional symptoms that may occur along with the three main symptoms above include: Weight loss for no apparent reason, Excessive sweating at night, Fever with a temperature of more than 38C, Anemia (lack of blood), Tired easily, Sensation of numbness or numbness, especially if the cancer is pressing on the nerves in the spine, Shortness of breath, especially if bone cancer spreads to the lungs.

  Other symptoms for bone cancer can include sudden/unintended weight loss, easily bruising, numbness and pain with tingling, feeling tired or breathless. […] Lee hopes that with education, hopefully more people will get identified sooner reducing the risk of the cancer progressing. I think better education on the symptoms of bone cancer is so important. Its not just the physical side of cancer, but the months and months of being in pain with no answers really affects you mentally, and puts so much stress on you. Hopefully with better education fewer people will have those experiences and receive a diagnosis earlier.

  https://osinst.org/symptoms/

  Osteosarcoma expert Lee Helman, MD, describes the symptoms of osteosarcoma — and what symptoms families should watch for. […] However, in those few hundred cases, delayed diagnoses are common. “Delay from onset of pain to diagnosis of osteosarcoma is, on average, several months, but can be much longer,” Dr. Helman explains. Since osteosarcoma originates in the bone, the tumor is often discovered only after a child or teen has experienced ongoing, unresolved pain around a joint or bone. […] “A common story in osteosarcoma is of a child having been seen for pain by a healthcare provider who did not consider it to be serious. The pain continued and ultimately worsened until the parents brought the child back once, twice, or more before a diagnosis is made,” says Dr. Helman. […] By far, pain or swelling (or both) are the most common symptoms of osteosarcoma, says Dr. Helman. “This is really how the vast majority of osteosarcoma patients present — usually pain before swelling.” While osteosarcoma can occur in any bone or joint, including the skull, tailbone, and jaw, the two most common areas of osteosarcoma are in the knee and shoulder, says Dr. Helman, with pain specifically presenting in those areas.
