Types of Bone Cancer
1.
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.
