A member asked:
Do i (17 years old) have a chance of getting any kind of bone cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Context please: With no context your chance is like anybody else’s your age. In general primary bone cancers are less frequent than secondary cancers that spread from other sources, such as breast or lung, for example, to the bones. Family history of cancers may influence your chance of developing a cancer. Your pediatrician is your best reference in giving you a more meaningful answer.
