Bone Cancer: Complementary and Alternative Therapies

Resource Description:

Bone cancer, Bone cancers are rare forms of cancer that can affect any bone in the body. Two types of bone cancer are multiple myeloma and bone sarcomas. About 2,000 primary bone cancers are diagnosed in the United States each year. Bone cancers can also happen when tumors that start in other organs, such as breasts, lung, and prostate, metastasize (spread) to the bone. Multiple myeloma is the most common type of bone cancer. The two most common bone sarcomas are osteosarcoma, which develops in new tissue in growing bones, and chondrosarcoma, which develops in cartilage. Osteosarcoma occurs more frequently in people ages 10 - 30, while chondrosarcoma occurs more often in adults.
