Cancer that starts in a bone is uncommon. Cancer that has spread to the bone from another part of the body is more common.
The three types
| Type | Where and who |
|---|---|
| Osteosarcoma | most often between ages 10 and 19; more common in the knee and upper arm |
| Chondrosarcoma | starts in cartilage, usually after age 40 |
| Ewing's sarcoma | most often in children and teens under 19; more common in boys than girls |
Symptoms
The most common symptom is pain. Other symptoms depend on the cancer's location and size.
Treatment
- Surgery is often the main treatment.
- Others may include amputation, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
- Bone cancer can come back after treatment, so regular follow-up visits matter.
