How dangerous is bone cancer?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Danger?: Primary bone tumors are very painful and tough to treat and cure. Some other cancers that start elsewhere will metastasize to bone. Breast and prostate are the most common.

Very dangerous: Bone cancer can be very dangerous if left untreated. Depending on the actual type of bone cancer and whether it has spread or not may determine the actual prognosis and treatments needed.
