Causes of bone tumors​​​​​​​

The underlying cause of bone tumors is not known, but in general, tumors occur when cells in a part of the body grow rapidly and out of control. Factors such as genetics, radiation therapy and bone damage play a role in the development of bone tumors.
Most bone tumors are benign in the sense that they are not cancerous and do not spread. But they still cause bone loss, fractures and other problems.
Malignant types of bone tumors (bone cancer) destroy normal bone tissue and may spread to other parts of the body.

Treatment of bone tumors

Sometimes there is no specific treatment for benign bone tumors, and it is only necessary to be tested regularly to see any changes. In other cases, surgery is the best option for treating bone tumors (benign and malignant). There are different surgeries depending on the location of the bone tumor and the extent of the tumor spread, but in general surgery involves the following:
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, during which the tumor and some areas around the tumor (to the extent that no cells No cancer left) removed (curettage). The emptied area may be filled with a bone graft (from another person or the person's own bone).
In some cases, special cement is used to fill the bone hole. Sometimes substances such as phenol or liquid nitrogen are poured into the cavity, which reduces the risk of tumor recurrence (tumor recurrence).
In cases where tumor growth is more advanced and the bone tissue is very weak, after complete removal of the bone and the surrounding damaged areas, metal prostheses are used to strengthen the bone. These surgeries are suitable for tumors of the pelvis, knee and thigh.
