Every April 11 is celebrated as National Bone Cancer Day in Indonesia. This day is celebrated by the Ministry of Health every year to increase public awareness of this disease. National Bone Cancer Day is also celebrated to increase public attention. Namely, to prevent, carry out early detection and treatment of bone cancer.
Quoted from the Indonesian Ministry of Health Library, the aim of celebrating National Bone Cancer Day is so that people have a deeper understanding of bone cancer. And also encourage each individual to carry out regular health checks.
Through regular health checks, it is hoped that it will be easier to detect bone cancer early. So you can take preventative or early treatment steps.
Bone cancer or osteosarcoma is a type of cancer that attacks the bones, and can be experienced by children and adults. All bones in the body can be affected by this disease, but it mostly occurs in the legs and arms.
On this World Bone Cancer Day, there are two types of bone cancer, namely primary and secondary bone cancer. Primary bone cancers include osteosarcoma.
Namely, a malignancy that grows from the bones which often attacks the upper arms and knees. Osteosarcoma often occurs in pre-adolescent children over the age of 10 years.
Second, chondrosarcoma, a cancer that originates from cartilage cells. Then the third is Ewing’s sarcoma, which is a malignancy that grows from the bones and can also originate from the connective tissue around the bones.
