Ewing's Sarcom A Case Study

This cancer is a bone cancer that attack the bones, especially large bones. This cancer is named osteogenic sarcoma(Osteosarcoma) for medical term (“Osteosarcoma”, n.d.). Osteosarcoma mostly affects people under 25 years old, and it can affect old people but it is really rare(“Osteosarcoma: An Introduction.”, 2012). When this cancer attacks, it grows bones, and any type of bone (“Bone cancer”,2013). This cancer is an ancient disease that we started to recognize in 1805. Most of the symptoms are on the bones (“Bone cancer”,2013). It also is not contagious so its not passed from person to person like other diseases.

On Exam:  BP today was 140/86. Head and neck exam was all clear. She had no oral or nasal ulcers. She had no lymphadenopathy or bruits. Heart sounds were normal and the chest seemed clear, as did the abdominal exam. Musculoskeletal exam disclosed widespread Heberden's and Bouchard's nodes. She had no swelling or stress pain at the MCPs. She was not tender at the CMC joints. She had no swelling in the wrist, elbows or shoulders. She had no soft tissue tender points. She has bilateral knee crepitus but only slight instability and no effusions. She had actually good range of movement of both hips. She was tender in the lumber spine and has a scar at the lower lumbar spine from her previous operations. Her feet are somewhat flat with tenderness across the

Based on the medical report dated 04/01/16, the patient complains of pain in the neck with radiation to bilateral upper extremities and pain to the lower back with radiation to the lower extremities with tingling/numbness and weakness. He rates his pain 8-9/10.

The symptoms form Ewing’s sarcoma is pain, swelling, stiffness, or tenderness of the bone or the surrounding tissue. There may also be a lump near the surface of the skin that may feel warm and soft to the touch. The patients may also have a fever that does not go away. The sarcoma may cause weakening of the bone with the tumor, resulting in the integrity of the bone, thereby having the bone break due to a very minor injury.

However, with medicine advancing, we are able to understand osteosarcoma a little better. Recent studies in the past couple of months have looked at cadavers with osteosarcoma, thanks to patients who have donated their bodies to science. Upon this research they found many new discoveries, such as the direction it tends to grow and where the cancer is most likely to spread. The advancement of medicine found out that the most common way to die from osteosarcoma was pulmonary metastatic disease. This disease is caused from cancer cells spreading to the lungs.When the cancer from the osteosarcoma spreads throughout the body, it often ends up in the lungs, which then begins the vicious stages of lung cancer. Symptoms of osteosarcoma include pain and swelling, usually around the upper arm or knee, and bones that are easily fractured. The bones tend to fracture very easily where the osteosarcoma is

Many people suffer from all types of cancer like, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, malignant mesothelioma and so much more. These types of cancers are very common and are usually found and treated as soon as possible. Despite the fact that technology and medicine has advanced in many ways, Clear cell sarcoma is still a puzzle to most doctors.

Severe pain anywhere in the body. This could be the result of a broken bone.

Solid tumors can be either malignant or benign. Malignant solid tumors are cancerous, while benign solid tumors are not. The names of solid tumors vary depending on the cells or tissues that from them. Examples of solid tumors include sarcomas (connective tissues e.g. fat cells, muscles, nerves, tendons etc), carcinomas (begin in tissues that lines the internal surface of the body and body organs e.g. breast, lung, prostrate, and colon), Lymphomas (affects the immune system).

HME is characterized by the development of multiple tumors on bone called osteochondromas which are composed of bony components with a cartilage cap. These tumors usually are not malignant, or noncancerous, and occur in two different forms. The first form being a broad based sessile osteochondroma and the second being a small based stalked osteochondroma (Ryckx et al., 2013). These exoctoses are very painful and discomforting to the affected child and cause functional impairment due to either compression of soft tissue or obstruction as a result of its size. Because the tumors develop during growth, limb deformities can develop causing physical distortions such as uneven limbs (Ham, 2013; NLM, 2013).

There may be bone pain due to metastasis in advanced disease o Shortness of breath may be present if spread to the lungs

It destroys bone tissue and it's mostly common in arms and legs. There are three different types of bone cancer which are separated based on the type of cell. One of them is osteosarcoma, where cancer starts in the bone cells and occurs more often in the long bones and can spread to the lungs. This type of cancer is most frequent in children and teens and it is Feiler's case. Chondrosarcoma is another type of bone cancer, but in this case, cancer begins in the cartilage cells. The last type of bone cancer is known as the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFTs), which often occurs in the legs, pelvis and arms and affects mainly children and young adults. Some signs and symptoms of bone cancer include pain in the affected bone, swelling in that particular area of the bone, fracture of the bone, or even weight loss. Bone cancer can be treated in various ways depending on the type of cancer, location and stage but the main treatments used to fight this illness are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy and even the combination of the three. Currently, there's anything we can do to prevent bone cancer like other types of

There are hundreds and hundreds of various types of cancer, but the number one thing that cancers all have in common is that they occur when abnormal cells in a part of the body begin to grow uncontrollably. Osteosarcoma or osteogenic sarcoma is a type of cancer that starts by an abnormal growth of cells in the bones. Osteosarcoma is not considered to be a common type of cancer in general; however, it is the most frequently diagnosed bone tumor in adolescents and young adults accounting for nearly 3% of childhood cancers (Childhood Cancer Types/Common Cancers in Children", n.d.). It is important as advanced practice nurse to be aware of this very common condition in children, so that they receive the best care and treatment options available.

At today’s visit the patient is awake, alert and oriented. He reports that he has loss 8 lbs recently. He has a poor appetite and has not been taking his megace. He reports generalized neoplasm pain, which he describes as aching with a severity of 4/10. He reports that his pain does not radiate and there are no aggravating factors. He reports that his pain is manage with his current pain regimen of

The patient presents with chronic neck and low back pain status post MVA in 2008. He was ran off the rode while on his motorcycle fracturing his neck and lower back. Mr. Buchanan denies having radiating symptoms down either lower extremity. His pain is constant throughout the day making it very difficult to perform his daily activities. The patient has not had injection therapy or surgeries for his neck and back pain. The patient was told after his last MRI that he has arthritis in both his neck and lower back.

Ewing's sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that grows in the bones. It is usually found in longer bones of the arms or legs. The thigh bone (femur) is the bone most often affected, followed by the bones of the pelvis, lower leg, upper arm (humerus) and chest.
