Bone Cancer

The occurrence of the Bone Cancer is relatively rare it occurs only when some cancerous cells occurs in the bone. Normally the bones undergo the mitosis and suddenly the process of cell division increases rapidly leading to formation of mass of the abnormal cells which forms a lump known as the tumor. The tumor which has occurred in bone can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are non-cancerous and malignant tumors are cancerous, so malignant tumors are called as cancers which an be either primary or secondary.

Bone Cancer Causes

There are two types of primary bone cancer such as osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma but their exact causes are yet to be found out. The researchers speculate that the oncogenes play a pivotal role in the onset of the primary bone cancer. Osteosarcoma mainly affects the knee bone of an individual who is either young or adolescent. Ewing’s sarcoma mainly affects the pelvic region, femur, humerus and rib bones of the teens mostly. Primary bone cancer is not that much common but the most common type of the bone cancer is secondary bone cancer which is caused because of the cancer in some other parts of the body. (more…)
