Bone Cancer: A Rather Rare Form of Cancer
There are only about 2500 cases of primary bone cancer in the United States each year. Bone cancer accounts for just a small percentage of cancer within the U.S. Primary bone cancer is cancer that starts in the bones and is more rare than secondary bone cancer. Secondary bone cancer is cancer that has spread from an organ to the bones.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America: A Great Source of Bone Cancer Information
The most common type of bone cancer is osteosarcoma, which develops in new tissue in growing bones. Another type of cancer, chondrosarcoma, arises in cartilage. Evidence suggests that Ewings sarcoma, another form of bone cancer, begins in immature nerve tissue located in bone marrow. Osteosarcoma and Ewings sarcoma tend to occur more frequently in children and adolescents, while chondrosarcoma occurs more often in adults.
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America we offer integrative bone cancer treatment. Unfortunately, we don't treat children or adolescents. Medical treatments for bone cancer can include surgery, intensity modulated radiation therapy and fractionated dose chemotherapy. There are several factors that affect which bone cancer treatments will be administered.
