It can be used in the sense of swelling or mass.

No. There are benign and malignant types.

Often the reason is unclear. Most often, there is an individual genetic background. There is rarely a familial connection.

No, it is not.

It can be caused by many different tissues (fat, muscle, vein, bone, cartilage, nerves, etc.).

No, it is not. Especially malignant ones are very rare. They are usually benign.

Definitely not. Especially malignant soft tissue tumors are most often painless.

Especially if the swelling is rapidly growing, deeply located, large and irregularly limited. But we also need to know that without them there may be malignant tumors.

While imaging methods (X-ray, MRI, and Tomography, etc.) are sufficient to diagnose many tumors, it is necessary to perform a biopsy for a definitive diagnosis of some tumors.

It is mostly performed under local anesthesia with a closed method called a needle biopsy. An open biopsy is rarely required. Bone biopsies are usually performed under operating room conditions.

Imaging methods such as USG and Tomography are used, especially in deep-located and small tumors.

No. Biopsy is a very serious and vital procedure. It should be performed by a doctor who specializes in bone and soft tissue tumors.

No.

In soft tissue tumors, this period is 1-2 weeks, while in bone biopsies, this period can last up to 3 weeks.

Unfortunately, it is not 100%. In some cases, there is a need to perform a repeated biopsy.

A screening should be performed using methods such as Tomography, Scintigraphy, or PET CT (to determine if there is a spread to another part of the body).

In this case, according to the diagnosis of the tumor, it should be decided whether to take chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy before and/or after surgery.

No. While the standard is applied particularly in some bones (Osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, etc.) and soft tissue (Rhabdomyosarcoma, etc.) tumors, it is not applied in some bone (Chondrosarcoma) and soft tissue (Well-differentiated liposarcoma) tumors.

It can be applied before or after surgery according to the treatment plan, especially in malignant soft tissue tumors.

Both methods have advantages and disadvantages over each other.

It depends on the type of tumor.

It is usually operated on after an average of 3 weeks.

No. Some of the benign bone and soft tissue tumors can only be monitored.

No. Especially it should be done by experienced doctors on this issue.

No. In particular, some tumors that we call benign aggressive (Giant cell bone tumor, Aneurysmal bone cyst, Desmoid tumor, etc.) can recur at a certain rate, even if they are successfully treated.

Yes. Especially malignant tumors should be monitored for a very long time after surgery.
