Types of Bone Cancer

1. What Are The Various Types Of Bone Cancer?

2. Osteogenic Sarcoma (Osteosarcoma) This type of bone cancer is more common in children and adolescents. However, Osteosarcoma can even happen in adults. In the maximum number of cases, this cancer starts developing at the long bone tips in the legs and arms. This cancer harms the hard tissue that works as outer layer protection for your bones. Furthermore, osteogenic sarcoma may develop in your shoulders, hips, and other locations.

3. Ewing’s Sarcoma We have Ewing’s sarcoma as the second number in our common primary bone cancer list. This cancer originates from the soft tissue close to the bones or even directly in the bones. You will find this cancer more common in young adults as well as children. Normally, it affects the person’s long bones like legs, arms as well as pelvis.

4. Chondrosarcoma Chondrosarcoma is more common among older adults and usually develops in the thigh, shoulders, and pelvis areas. It develops in the subchondral tissue, a tough connective tissue between a person’s bones. However, its rare cases make it the least common primary bone cancer.

5. Multiple Myeloma MM (Multiple myeloma) is known to be the most common cancer type, which involves bones. But, this cancer is not part of primary bone cancer since it originates in the plasma cells. This cancer happens when cancer cells develop in a person’s bone marrow, leading to tumors in different bones. MM is more common in older adults.
