What Is Bone Cancer?
2. Causes
The cells in our bodies have a limited life time. When they come to the end of their life, old cells simply die out and are then processed by our body. Sometimes, however, these old cells will not die out and will instead start to form new cells. This is what is known as a tumor, and some tumors will be cancerous.
The majority of tumors are benign, which means that they will not spread to other parts of the body. Some tumors will become malignant, however, which means that they will begin to spread, and this is known as cancer. This can happen in pretty much any part of our bodies, and this includes our bones.
