Bone Cancer

Overview

Most commonly, bone tumors have spread or metastasized from another organ, such as the breasts, lungs or prostate. 发生于骨骼的癌症——原发性骨癌——是罕见的.

Bone tumors may be benign or malignant. Benign bone tumors are more common, 但这两种类型都可能生长并压缩健康的骨组织,并用异常组织吸收或取代它. 然而,良性肿瘤不会扩散,也很少危及生命.

最常见的骨癌类型是骨肉瘤,它发生在生长中的骨骼的新组织中. 另一种类型的癌症,软骨肉瘤,发生在软骨中. 尤文氏肉瘤起源于骨髓中未成熟的神经组织. 骨肉瘤和尤文氏肉瘤在儿童和青少年中更为常见, while chondrosarcoma occurs more often in adults.
