Bone cancer
Cancer that starts in a bone is rare. Cancer that has spread to the bone from another part of the body is more common.
There are three types of bone cancer:
- Osteosarcoma - develops in growing bones, usually between ages 10 and 25
- Chondrosarcoma - starts in cartilage, usually after age 50
- Ewing's sarcoma - begins in nerve tissue in bone marrow of young people, often after treatment of another condition with radiation or chemotherapy
