Bone cancer, also known as a tumor of the skeletal system, may present with a range of symptoms, but in the early stages, these symptoms are often nonspecific. The following are some common symptoms of bone cancer:
1. Persistent and unexplained bone pain: Usually progressive, with pain worsening at night or during rest.
2. Fractures: May occur even after minor trauma or without an apparent cause.
3. Swelling or lumps near a joint: Noticeable swelling or a hard mass may develop at the tumor site.
4. Fever and night sweats: These may result from the body's reaction to the tumor.
If any of these symptoms appear, especially persistent bone pain or unusual fractures, prompt medical attention is advised.
