A member asked:

What are the signs of possible bone cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Daniel Sudilovsky answered

Specializes in Pathology

Pain most often: Most primary and secondary bone tumors present with pain. Some can present as painless enlargement/swelling of a limb or joint. On occasion a bone tumor can be silent until there is enough weakness in the bone for a fracture to occur.

Dr Friedlander and another doctor agreed
