Question 1

can bruising on the calf muscle be bone cancer?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Primary bone cancer is quite rare.  Even if you had metastatic cancer to the leg, you would be expected to have significant bony pain long before there would be any soft tissue involvement such as bruising.  If you have frequent bruising, see a physician for evaluation of a bleeding disorder.

Question 2

what causes knee pain? can it mean bone cancer?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: At your age pain in the knee is most likely some kind of soft tissue problem or possibly early degenerative change. You may want to see your doctor to get an x-ray.

Question 3

can bone cancer cause paralysis if it spreads to the cervical vertebrate?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Either primary or metastatic disease can do this. Vertebral column cancers need to be watched closely and any signs of impending paralysis is an oncologic emergency.

Question 4

rdw 14.4   mpv 7.3   plt normal 281.0.... does this cause concern? could it be bone cancer or leukemia?

Accepted Answer

Not concerned: If these are the only values that are a bit removed from the reference range, i would not be at all concerned, though it might be an alert to mild iron deficiency that has not yet produced anemia.

Question 5

can boxing cause bone cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: There is no evidence linking boxing to bone cancer. It is associated with brain injury, movement diorders and dementia.

Question 6

can fluoride cause bone cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: Excess Fluoride intake can cause skeletal fluorosis and weakening of the bones, despite a dense appearance on x-ray.  Unless the Fluoride intake is radioactive, there is no known association between Fluoride and bone cancer.

Question 7

please tell me, could a cyst in the liver cause bone cancer?

Accepted Answer

No, no connection: There is no link between liver cysts and bone cancers which typically do not spread to the liver(often spread only to the lungs).

Question 8

what are the symptoms of bone cancer? i have a hard immobile lump on the back of my head, what could have caused it? is it normal to have a hard lump?

Accepted Answer

May be just a cyst: I see a lot of these.  The vast majority are just benign cysts, especially in young adults.  If it grows or bothers you, that's enough reason to get it removed.

Question 9

what can cause pain in neck under left collar bone cancer?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Sure cancer can cause pain anywhere, but pain can be a symptom of many things. Please see a healthcare provider if this is a problem.

Question 10

what causes bone cancer?

Accepted Answer

Dumb back luck: You won't find an environmental cause for any bone cancer apart from the rare ones that arise in pre-existing severe Paget's of bone, rare genetic syndromes or an old radiation port. Recently the news showcased what we pathologists have taught for decades -- the vast majority of cancers are the result of random mutations -- truly random. There's no way to prevent.
