Cancer cells can hijack cell cycles to exponentially increase their numbers, a process called proliferation. Cancer drugs can stop the growth of cancer cells by jumpstarting a complex chain of genetic and cellular events. But often, this story is more complex, involving treatments that don’t work as well as had been hoped.

Bone cancer is a rare type of cancer, which can go undetected for some time before being diagnosed. Although benign (non-cancerous) bone tumors are more common than malignant (cancerous) bone tumors, malignant bone cancer can be an aggressive cancer, and some types grow quickly. Quick progression makes early detection and treatment all the more important.

Doctors may use radiation therapy to treat benign tumors. Radiation can shrink and eliminate benign growths without doctors having to perform surgery. Benign tumors are noncancerous growths that can occur anywhere in the body. They may develop when specific cells multiply quicker than they should or do not die over time. Benign tumors may appear similar to cancer, but they grow more slowly and do not spread to other areas.

Radiation therapy for benign tumors

Cancer is described as a rapid proliferation of mutated cells. Various mechanisms work to promote the growth and spread of cancer. Interestingly, each type of cancer is unique in its characteristics and how it ‘hides’ from the immune system. Additionally, a key hallmark includes its ability to polarize healthy immune cells to a protumor activation state that helps the tumor progress. This hallmark makes it particularly difficult to treat cancer since many of these protumor cells act as a barrier to immunotherapy.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
