Radiation cancer (eng. carcinomatosis radialis) is an extremely rare disease in which malignant cells appear in the bones and joints. The main danger of such a disease is that it quickly spreads through the bloodstream throughout the body. Most often, doctors suffer from cancer among young people of working age for a period of 25 - 45 years. Due to its aggressiveness, the disease constantly requires increased attention and diagnosis in the early stages. Radiation cancer belongs to the group of malignant neoplasms. Its second name sounds like osteosarcoma. This is a fairly rare disease with a three-year survival rate if not treated with chemotherapy or other treatments.
The disease can be diagnosed in both male and female patients. An identical symptomatic complex is not observed in men and women who lead the same lifestyle and have the same bone problems. As a rule, the symptoms that are characteristic of this disease appear regardless of gender. In this case, it is very important to carry out diagnostics at the cellular level.
The main cause of osteosarcoma is the uncontrolled activity of bone marrow cells, which in turn transform into atypical cells. In addition, severe bone injuries or improper treatment with radioactive chemotherapy are possible triggers of the disease. Injuries and other factors listed above are only provoking signals, after which there is a sharp jump in the activity of bone tissue cells. In addition to pain and a feeling of stiffness, the affected limb can become deformed. As the disease develops, the degree of sensitivity of the sore spot decreases, so in the initial stages of seeing a doctor, patients experience nothing but discomfort. If a child gets osteosarcoma, symptoms can appear quite suddenly. The development of this disease can lead to complete destruction of the bone, which has ceased to function, as well as destruction of the articular system. Thus, the process can lead to loss of function of the hip or knee.
