Bone cancer

Men and women discussing bone cancer

All about primary bone cancer, which is cancer that starts in bone. The most common type is osteosarcoma.  Information about symptoms and causes, tests to diagnose primary cancer of the bone, treatment including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and current research. Living with bone cancer covers coping with your diagnosis and managing after surgery.

If you are looking for information about cancer that has spread to the bones from another cancer site, this is not the right section for you. You need to look at the list of specific cancers and choose the one where your cancer first started.
