Why do people get bone cancer and how can it be prevented?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: We dont know why people get cancer in the bone. Secondary cancer from other primary cancer spreading to the bone is more common that cancer that originates from the bone. We don't know how to prevent primary bone cancer. But what you can do is to have a healthy lifestyle and habits (dont smoke/drink alcohol)update your cancer screening tests recommended-i.e. Papsmear, mammogram, colonoscopy etc.
