Bone lymphoma / reticulum cell sarcoma

Bone lymphoma, also known as reticulum cell sarcoma, is a malignant form of bone cancer. Bone lymphoma is normally detected between the ages of 40 and 60. This cancer can occur in all bone tissue in the body and then spread further in the bones.

- Pain and swelling

This form of cancer causes significant pain and swelling in the affected area. There may also be soft tissue damage in the affected region. The injured bone affected by bone lymphoma has a greater chance of fracture and fracture - so-called pathological fracture.

- Diagnosis

The only sure way to diagnose is by taking a biopsy (tissue sample) of the affected area, but imaging can help locate the tumor and see which areas are affected. It's special MRI examination and CT used to provide detailed images of the cancerous tumor.

- The treatment is transverse

The treatment of bone lymphoma is transverse, and a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy is normally used. The treatment has been shown to be almost as effective as surgery or amputation. Fortunately, amputation is rarely necessary.

- Regular check

In the event of deterioration or similar, people should go to check to see if any development or further growth has occurred. This is normally done with systematic blood tests, urine tests, x-rays (see imaging) to estimate any size development or bloom. Every six months or annually, an X-ray may be necessary, but it may be taken less frequently if no further development is seen.
