What is a Musculoskeletal Tumor?
A musculoskeletal tumour is a strange growth that forms in bones or soft tissues like muscles, fat, fibrous tissue, nerves, or blood vessels. These tumours can be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and it's very important to find them early so they can be treated. Bone cancer and soft tissue sarcoma are the two most common types of malignant tumours.
Benign tumours usually grow slowly and don't spread, but malignant tumours can be aggressive and spread to other parts of the body. That's why it's so important to get the right diagnosis and treatment for bone tumours as soon as possible.
