Musculoskeletal tumors called Osteosarcoma
Definition: A mass of unusual cells growing in a bone or muscles. Most bone tumours aren't cancerous.
Risk factors
Inherited genetic syndromes
Radiation therapy for cancer
Paget's disease of bone
Nursing care plan:
Talk to the patient to promote comfort
Monitoring patients hygiene
Limit patient movement if the tumors are in the joints
Diagnostics
Bone scan
Computerized tomography (CT)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Positron emission tomography (PET)
X-ray
Pathophysiology: The causes of bone tumors aren't known. A few possible causes are genetics, radiation treatment, and injuries to the bones. Osteosarcoma has been linked to radiation treatment and other anticancer drugs, especially in children.
Causes is unknown but there are leading risk factors mentioned in onother branch of this diagram
Clinical manifestations
Bone pain
Swelling and tenderness near the affected area
Weakened bone, leading to fracture
Fatigue
Unintended weight loss
Management
Surgery
Chemotherapy
Radiation therapy
Dostarlimab-gxly administration
Entrectinib administration
