10 Osteosarcoma Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Swelling
A swelling will often be found at the site of an injury. Usually, it is the result of the blood sending more blood and fluids to the area to try and help heal the injury. At other times, it is down to something else, such as an affected area becoming physically larger in itself.
Osteosarcoma can cause an increase in bone mass at the site of the cancer. These tumors will cause the rest of the area to swell as it grows. The swelling is likely to develop several weeks after the pain first begins. Such a swelling is something that you should get checked out by a doctor.
