Cancer that originates in the bone — primary bone cancer — is rare. The condition affects more children than adults. More often, cancer cells spread (metastasize) to the bones from other areas of cancer in your body. The most common forms of primary bone cancer are:
Pain is the most common symptom of bone cancer. Although bone cancer can arise in any of your body's 206 bones, it most frequently occurs in the long bones of your arms and legs. Other possible signs and symptoms of bone cancer include:
Most of the time, rather than starting in bones, cancer cells spread (metastasize) to the bones from other areas of cancer in the body. This is called secondary or metastatic bone cancer. This means that the cancer originated in a different place but has now migrated to the bones. For example, lung cancer commonly spreads from the lungs to the bones.
In general, no one knows for certain what causes most primary bone cancer. Adults with Paget's disease of bone, which involves abnormal development of new bone cells, may be at increased risk of osteosarcoma.
In a few cases, bone cancers may have a hereditary component, such as in:
Radiation is occasionally associated with bone cancer. Exposure to radiation from an X-ray won't harm you. But heavy doses of radiation, such as radiation therapy given for other cancers, can increase your risk of developing bone cancer, especially if you receive the therapy at a young age. Still, radiation therapy is becoming more and more sophisticated, which may lead to fewer of such side effects. For example, doctors today are better able to regulate doses of radiation and more precisely target the tumor being treated.
Talk to your doctor if you develop signs or symptoms that may indicate bone cancer, such as unexplained bone pain. Having bone pain doesn't necessarily mean you have bone cancer. Bone pain is more commonly due to injuries or arthritis. And bone tumors are often noncancerous (benign). However, the only way to determine whether a tumor is cancerous or not is for a doctor to examine a sample of the tissue.
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Persistent pain in the knee, hip, shoulder or spine that limits daily activities, worsens with weight-bearing, and is unresponsive to medications.
Stiffness and inability to fully bend or straighten the affected joint, making simple tasks like climbing stairs or getting up from a chair difficult.
Visible swelling, warmth, and tenderness around the joint — signs of active inflammation or cartilage degeneration requiring specialist evaluation.
Crepitus — a grinding or clicking sound during joint movement — indicating loss of cartilage or presence of loose bodies in the joint space.
Visible joint deformity (knock-knee, bow-leg), leg length discrepancy, or a feeling that the joint may 'give way' under load.
Pain that persists or worsens at rest and disrupts sleep — a key indicator that surgical intervention may be required.
