What Is Bone Cancer?
5. Osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma is usually found at the end of our long bones; usually at the knee. It is a disease that is usually found in young adults and children and is the most common form of all bone cancers. The condition typically causes more bone material to be produced than usual. It will also sometimes happen in soft tissues, although this is rare.
How aggressive osteosarcoma is will depend largely on the patient’s age. It tends to be more aggressive in children, and less aggressive in adults. Around 77% of people diagnosed with the disease can expect to live beyond 5 years.
