#Osteosarcoma is the most common form of #bone #cancer. Cancer #cells in this #tumor produce bone. This type of bone cancer most often occurs in children and young adults, in the bones of the leg or arm. In rare cases, osteosarcomas can arise outside the bones (extraskeletal osteosarcomas).

What is bone cancer?
Bone cancer is a term for several different cancers that develop in the bones. When cancer cells grow in bone, they can damage normal bone tissue. The type of cell and tissue where the cancer starts determines the type of bone cancer.

Cancer that forms in the bones is called primary bone cancer. Many tumors that start in the limbs or other parts of the body can spread to the bones as well as other parts of the body. These growths are called secondary or metastatic bone cancer. Breast, prostate and lung tumors most commonly metastasize (spread) to the bones.

How common is bone cancer?
Bone cancers are rare. They make up less than 1% of cancers in the United States. Although they can develop at any age, they are more common in children, adolescents, and young adults than in older adults.

Where does bone cancer usually start?
It depends on what type of bone cancer you have. There are four main types of bone cancer:
