What begins as a small, seemingly harmless swelling on your limbs can sometimes be the first visible sign of a disease that has already begun taking root.
Orthopaedic cancer specialists are now urging Kenyans not to ignore swellings that continue to grow, particularly those that reach the size of an egg, warning that delayed investigation could allow bone cancers to advance to stages where treatment becomes far more difficult.
For doctors, however, the challenge is to detect the warning signs early, investigate them properly and refer patients before the disease advances to a life-threatening stage.
