Bone is the main structural component of the body. Bones protect the body, they are the
framework of the body, and they make it where on is just not a blob on the floor. A lot of time
when one gets cancer in the bones it is an advanced form of cancer that has spread from
elsewhere in the body. This is called metastatic cancer.(cancer.org) Other types include cancers
that start in blood cells of the bone marrow. True bone cancers start from tumors, and are called
sarcomas. (cancer.org)
The cause of sarcomas bone cancer is actually unknown, it is believed that genetics plays
a huge roll in most cases. If one puts their body into conditions where bones breakdown and
regenerate over time is will raise the risk factor of tumor development. (lifescript.com) …show more content…

small, and then as time passes it could get worse. The pain could start out only at certain time of
the day or when one is performing a certain action. The tumor could weaken the bone, and that
could lead to the breaking of the bone. (emedicinehealth.com)
There are actually many ways to diagnose bone cancer these ways include blood tests,
bone scan, computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
positron emission tomography (PET) scan, integrated PET-CT scan, biopsy, and x-
rays.(cancer.net) The doctor will not use every one of these methods on every person, there is a
few factors that go into consideration when choosing the proper method of diagnostic. These
factors include: age and medical condition, type of cancer suspected, signs and symptoms, and
previous test results.(cancer.net)
Since bone cancer is almost always hereditary preventing it is extremely difficult.
For all bone cancers combined, the five-year survival rate is about 70
percent. However, this varies by cancer type and stage. For osteosarcomas
