How does bone cancer kill a person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Invasion: Cancer will kill you if the cancer cells invade healthy tissue/organs and impair their function. With "bone cancer", this can occur by affecting blood cell production in the bone, or the cancer can metastasize to other organs and cause organ failiure.
