How do you get bone cancer?!


Question:

How do you get bone cancer?


Answers:

No one knows what causes bone cancer or the majority of cancers. A primary bone cancer is generally a sarcoma. A bone sarcoma is very rare and predominately strikes children and young adults.

There are three types of bone sarcoma: Osteosarcoma; Ewing's Sarcoma, and Chrondosarcoma.

There are also secondary bone cancers that can occur from a different source . . this is called metastasis and means that
a cancer cell started somewhere else, such as in the breast has now left that breast area and invaded the bones, causing a new tumor.
