关于骨肉瘤
Bone sarcomas are rare diseases in which cancerous cells form in the bone. These types of cancers are seen most often in children 和 young adults.
骨肉瘤的类型

原因 & 风险因素
Anything that increases your chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean you are sure to get cancer. It means your chances are higher than the average person’s. Talk with your doctor to learn more about your cancer risk.
These are risk factors for getting 骨肉瘤:
- Previous radiation therapy or treatment with anticancer drugs called alkylating agents
- A 家族病史 骨肉瘤的
- Changes in certain genes that increase the risk 骨肉瘤的 cells such as the retinoblastoma gene
- 这些条件:
- 布鲁姆综合症
- Diamon-blackfan贫血
- Li-Fraumeni综合症
- 佩吉特病
- Rothmund-Thomson综合症
- 沃纳综合症
My Experience with Bone Cancer: Adrian Portillo
When I was eighteen years old, I was diagnosed with bone cancer. I was referred to 亨茨曼癌症研究所 where I met with their sarcoma team. During my time with this disease, I felt helpless 和 scared. 然而, the compassion 和 empathy that each doctor demonstrated allowed me to gain trust in their knowledge 和 most importantly, 它给了我希望. 立即, 我知道，如果我要战胜这种疾病, I would dedicate my life to caring for others during their own time of most need.
五年后, I have been chosen to attend the University of Utah School of Medicine to pursue my MD degree. I hope to serve a variety of patient populations 和 provide the extraordinary care that was once given to me.

诊断 & 阶段
骨肉瘤的诊断
Doctors use these tests to diagnose bone cancers:
- 体格检查及病史： A health care provider examines your body for signs of disease. Your personal health habits, past illnesses, 和 symptoms help guide the exam.
- 成像测试: 使用染料, x射线, 磁铁, 无线电波和/或计算机技术, your health care provider can create detailed images of internal organs. Your health care provider may inject or have you swallow a dye to help see the images.
- 活组织检查: The health care provider removes cell or tissue samples so they can be viewed under a microscope to check for signs of cancer.
骨肉瘤的分期
Staging is the process that shows whether bone sarcoma has spread to other parts of the body. Cancer spreads in the body in three ways: through tissue, the lymph system, or the blood.
Bone cancer cells are often categorized in these ways:
- 本地化: The cancer has not spread out of the bone where it started.
- 转移性: The cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
When cancer spreads from where it started to another part of the body, it is called metastasis. These metastatic cancer cells are the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. 例如, 如果骨肉瘤细胞扩散到肝脏, the cancer cells in the liver are actually 骨肉瘤 cells. The disease is metastatic 骨肉瘤, not liver cancer.
