Bone cancer can start in just about any bone in the body; however, it most commonly affects the pelvis or the long bones found in the arms and legs. Bone cancer is rare, making up less than 1% of all cancers. As a matter of fact, non-cancerous bone tumors are much more common than cancerous ones.
The term “bone cancer” doesn’t include cancers that start some place else in the body and spread (metastasize) to the bone. Instead, those cancers are named for where they began, such as breast cancer that metastasized to the bone.
There are some types of bone cancer that happens primarily in children, while others affect most adults. Surgical removal is the most common treatment; however, chemotherapy and radiation therapy can also be used. The decision to use surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy is based on the kind of bone cancer being treated.
