in the skeleton is more frequent metastasis of other cancers that develop a bone tumor itself. The most common are osteosarcoma (or osteosarcoma)

Causes

In most malignant tumors of the skeleton not know the cause that produced it. But today we know that cancer is a genetic disease, not because it is transferred from parents to children (although in some cases this happens) but because its origin is some alteration of genes that control cell division. In some sarcomas is known that specific genetic alteration has occurred. Genetic studies, some studies have shown that sarcomas may be diagnosed with certainty within 24 hours, and besides, do you know if this particular sarcoma is more or less likely to respond to treatment.

Symptoms

the most common symptom is pain in a limb. This pain is constant, even at night. The most common location is the knee of a growing child, but can also involve the bones of the trunk, pelvis, etc.. It is often accompanied by malaise or fever, or other symptoms. • Treatment imperative that the diagnostic process and the start of treatment are as fast as possible. Cancerous tumors that arise from the bones can be spread by the bloodstream to the lungs first and then any organ. These new implants of tumor (metastases) may cause death. Although the bloodstream is the most common in the spread of these tumors, in some cases (less than 2%) can also spread via the lymphatic system, thus affecting the lymph nodes in the groin, armpits, etc. The treatment of these tumors also be based on three pillars: surgery, chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy over a long period of time (nearly a year).

the consumption of alcohol as wine or beer every day increases the risk of bowel cancer.

35,000 new cases of bowel cancer are diagnosed in the UK every year, and 16,100 persons die from it.

In European countries alcohol consumption is part of eating habits.

People who eat 15 grams of alcohol per day (equivalent to two units) have 10% chance of getting this type of cancer than people who do not consume alcohol.

The average risk of contracting this disease increases as alcohol consumption is higher.

We conclude that alcohol in high doses and for prolonged periods increases the risk of certain cancers.
