All About Tumors and Fractures


There are a lot of diseases possible when you get fractured. However, you might underestimate the dangers of fractures if you think of the following things: 

1- Osteoporosis isn't a serious disease. It is just an inevitable part of aging, especially for women after menopause.
2- Osteoporosis is a woman's disease.
3- I'm young; I do not have to worry about osteoporosis.
4- I'm healthy, eat all the right things, and exercise regularly; therefore, I'm not at risk.
5- It's too late for me to do anything.
If you get fractured by any thing then it is very important to recover from the injury as soon as possible. Otherwise it may be create a big problem for you. Primary tumours, more common in children than in adults, are classified as malignant or benign; benign bone tumours may present therapeutic problems because of their location. Malignant tumours may be treated by ionizing radiation, chemotherapy, or surgery. Primary bone tumours are characterized by their origin in the skeletal tissue elements.

Most bone tumours cause abnormalities observable in X-rays as defects in the bone tissue, as bone that has formed in reaction to the tumour, or, in some types of tumours, as the tumours themselves, which consist of bone. Some bone tumours cause biochemical abnormalities detectable by examination of blood samples for characteristic proteins or enzymes. The ultimate identification of bone tumours, however, rests on examination of tissue samples.

Benign tumours may be excised and the defect filled with a bone transplant for structural support.
