Osteosarcoma attacks the cells of the bone and is the third most common type of cancer suffered by children today. While it can occur in boys and girls, it is most prevalent among boys who are above average in height. Osteosarcoma cancer can become fatal when metastasis occurs and the cancer spreads to vital organs throughout body.
Certain factors can have a significant bearing on the cause of the disease and it is important to determine these factors for legal purposes. While a number of different heredity issues predisposing a child to cancer can cause osteosarcoma, new studies have found a strong link between cases of osteosarcoma in boys and high levels of fluoride exposure in childhood . If you think your child may have fluoride-induced osteosarcoma cancer, you may be entitled to compensation for the damages suffered.
Children who have a predisposition to cancer through retinoblastoma (a malignant retina tumor) or Li Fraumeni Syndrome (a genetic condition associated with cancer) may be more likely to develop osteosarcoma than others. More often than not however, osteosarcoma is the result of non-inherited DNA errors within the bone cells.
Recent findings regarding the link between fluoride and osteosarcoma have heightened concern among parents regarding their children''s osteosarcoma history. The United States National Toxicology Program has declared the relationship to be biologically plausible for three valid reasons:
- The bone is the primary location for the build-up of fluoride. This accumulation is particularly active during child and adolescent growth spurts.
- Fluoride can act as a mutagen when it accumulates.
- Fluoride is a stimulator of bone cell growth, or osteoblasts, which in overabundance can lead to the development of osteosarcoma.
